Where can one fine TCP socet server and client example VI's for Labview 6.0

[kgtang]

We've inherited an older system containing two PXI systems and one PC.  The Labview -6.0 programs running on the three systems need to be rewritten from ground zero.

In hopes of saving a great amount of time, I am looking for a couple of TCP socket VI's that can be used to set up communications between the applications.  There doesn't appear to be a backwards compatibility from examples found in newer versions of Labview.

Thanks,

KGTang

Why backwards compatibility?

Look in examples/comm/tcpex.llb. Those examples are still mostly unchanged in the newer LabVIEW versions too.

Hello KGTang,

From your post, I take it that you will be developing the new version of the code in pieces but that you'd like this code to communicate with the original code that will still be running? If this is the case, which example is it that you'd like to be backwards compatible?

You don't necessarily need the VIs to be compatible with each other. As long as they both correctly utilize TCP communication, it doesn’t really matter how they work. It is likely that we will be able to find TCP host and client VIs in each version of LabVIEW that you are working in that should accomplish this task. Please post back if you need any assistance with this. Thanks!
