Hello,
In earlier versions of LabVIEW, there was a VI on the Functions palette that programmatically launches DataSocket Server. In LabVIEW 6.0.2 this VI is an internal VI. It launches DataSocket Server, the Launch DS Server if Local URL VI. However, it now is located in the ..\labview 6\examples\comm\datasktx.llb. You might find it easier to access the VI by opening a DataSocket example and copying the VI from the block diagram. The Launch DS Server if Local URL VI is on the block diagrams of the following DataSocket example VIs:
