LabVIEW has a Matlab node that you can use to call your Matlab script. You can create terminals on it as input/output. There's examples that ship with LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Help is pretty clear on this. You will obviously need Matlab installed on the computer running the LabVIEW code.

Just out of curiosity, where does fortran f90 fit into this? The subject of your post contains this.

Actually you do not need to have Matlab installed on the machine that you are using with the LabVIEW MathScript node. The m-script file syntax can be understood by several software packages. The LabVIEW MathScript Node (and MathScript Window in LabVIEW 8.20), are simply providing the capability of LabVIEW to work with m-script syntax. You may also want to take a look at a Developer Zone tutorial for the LabVIEW MathScript Node. I hope this is useful for you. Thanks,

I indicated that Matlab needed to be installed since the poster said that LabVIEW 7.0 was being used. I may be mistaken, but wasn't the Mathscript node introduced in LabVIEW 8? I know it's not in 7.1.

You are correct, MathScript was not part of LabVIEW 7.1 or earlier. LabVIEW 8.0 was the first release to include MathScript.

smercurio,

Yes, as Sam mentioned, LabVIEW 8.0 was the first release to include MathScript. I had misread your previous post; I thought you were speaking about the MathScript Node. Sorry for the confusion!
