integrate code in labview

[Fëanor]

Hello,

I do not know if this action is possible with Labview but I would among other things, set up a simple code in C outside labview to offer the developer , different parameters to ultimately create a database in the program has adapted needs.

Example, if I want my labview program has say, four external devices , the port is connected to port B with buttons or displays positioned on { x, y } and the conditions of each object are defined according to the need of developer , this would be the C program that define these parameters in such a text file and the text file would fit a result in Labview as import by defining a basic program with connections and positions of each Vi , buttons , displays, ...

To give you a better idea of the thing , I can take an example , home automation , or where each house has its peculiarities to know the number of devices , type, ... which are automatically set by the developer in the C program because it has already defined its needs.

Thank you in advance for your answers

How to " define these parameters in such a text file and the text file would fit a result in Labview as import by defining a basic program with connections and positions of each Vi , buttons , displays, ..."

Sorry, but you still have to help us in understanding your goal:

As i understand it, you want to provide a configuration tool which lets the user configure some specific topics on the application. This tool creates a file which is then used to create VI(s) matching that definition.

Is my understanding correct?

Are you trying to automatically generate a VI based on user inputs?  The LabVIEW Code Generation Engine might be useful.

Yes and define also the position of Vis, buttons, displays,...

So please look into the link Jim provided.

There is no tool for this available, but you can create one. BUT: This requires a very decent knowledge about LV and "VI Scripting" and hence is nothing, a LV newcomer can handle.

So baseline message:

It is possible, but very complex. The advantage is that the "Script" file (so the file you are talking about all the time) could be "generic" as you have to implement a parser on your own.

oh... ok thank you. for explain my think,

for example the file to import to LabView is could be a txt file like this:

while ( Loopcondition != STOPBUTTON)

{

Display=NumericControl*5 {5;6}

}

I thought something like that.

Do you really need to implement some C interpreter for this? As i understand it, you can just set up a settings/parameter file?
