mySQL + NI-MAX

[maximilian]

Hello,

i am collecting my sensors data with a c++ application - it sends the data directly to a mysql db (Sys: Debian lenny, mysqld). I would like to know if NI-MAX is able to display my data from the mySQL db?

Iam already reading the mySQL db with an vi, just to display some data in a x/y Graph - is there any way to get the data from the vi to NI-MAX? i wasnt able to find any useful information about what kind of data NI-MAX needs.

Thank you!

You can't.

NI-MAX is not an application for viewing stored data.  It is the driver interface for setting up hardware to acquire data.

You need to use your LabVIEW VI to query data from your SQL database and show that data on an XY-graph.
