Using Matlab code in LabVIEW

[jprice1234]

Hi,

I have never used LabVIEW and I am wondering if there is a way to run Matlab code in LabVIEW. If so, how would I do it and are there any special instructions or tips I should know about?

What is your LabVIEW version?

Do you have matlab installed on your computer?

In older LabVIEW versions, you can only use the matlab script node, which requires that you have a copy of matlab installed.

In newer versions, you have two more alternatives that don't require the purchase of Matlab:

1. Use a mathscript node.
2. Use a scilab script node.

There is even a mathscript forum here: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board?board.id=MathScript

Thank you, for providing information on the availability of the Scilab
Script Node for Labview.
