custom scripting nodes

[Gordal]

Is it possible to create custom scripting nodes, like the scilab one here

 for interfacing with another language.

I looked in the download but couldn't find the code for interfacing scilab with a scripting node.

No, you cannot create a new LabVIEW script function. Depending on the language, you could use a Call Library Function Node or the system exec. Do a search for Python or tcl to see how people have interfaced to those.

Don't understand your last question at all. You posted to the Scilab link and that has a link to the download with the script function.

Are you sure this just isn't a hidden feature, like xnodes???

Have you seen LabPython?  I don't know how they did it, but they sure did it.

strangely enough, when i tried it i couldnt find this. in fact, i  only found i was able to write code in text boxes.

Hi Gordal,

It is possible to create custom script servers, just like the way scilab scipt nodes work. However, I don't know of any references on the subject. All they really do behind the scenes is call a DLL and output the results. I would recommend a simliar appoarch.

Hope this help and good luck!
