I am using LabVIEW to set (and get) values to variables in MathCAD using ActiveX. In MathCAD we would like to be able to use Greek letters to name some of the variables. I can't find any way to send a string containing the Greek letter code from LabVIEW to MathCAD to get or set those variables. The problem seems to stem from the fact that the strings (for the variable name) are U8 in LabVIEW and thus don't allow access to the higher asci codes that are used in MathCAD for Greek letters.
Is there a way around this or do I need to ban Greek letters for variable names in MathCAD?
