Retrieve data through http protocol

[Vasilich2004]

Our client wants to use DIAdem for visualization, analysis, and so on which we never used. Data is placed in MySQL and our custom Web server with http protocol provides access to data.

I glanced into DIAdem and didn't notice that DIAdem supports http protocol. Am I right?

It looks we can use Dataplugin and write special plugin on LabVIEW (or C++)? Am I correct?

Hi,

DataPlugins are a good way to retrieve the data from your web server.

You can either use LabVIEW DataPlugins, please refer to the online documentation:

LabVIEW DataPlugin SDK

Or you can use VBS DataPlugins with the Miscrosoft XmlHTTPRequest object, e.g.:

Sub ReadStore(File)
  'Tell the file how the string data is formed.
  File.Formatter.LineFeeds = vbNewLine
  'Read out connection parameter
  Dim url : url = File.GetNextLine()
  'Establish HTTP connection
  Dim oXMLHTTP
  Set oXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
  oXMLHTTP.open "GET", url, False ', sUers, sPassword
  oXMLHTTP.send
  'Provide the data to USI
  Dim ChannelGroup : Set ChannelGroup = Root.ChannelGroups.Add("MyChannelGroup1")
  Dim response : Set response = ChannelGroup.Channels.Add("responseBody", eString)
  response.Values(1) = oXMLHTTP.responseText
End Sub

 You can use different files to configure the URL providing the data.
