Call LabVIEW VIs from MATLAB

[Steve_the_Red]

Does anybody know of a simple way to call LabVIEW VIs from within a MATLAB m-file?  I would like to be able to write VIs in LabVIEW and then script them (for stochastic analysis, etc.), and think MATLAB would be an awfully convenient way to do this (also useful for data analysis, etc.).  I have looked at LuaVIEW, but it appears to have been largely abandoned.

Thanks!

Hello Erik,

Building it into a DLL as Altenback said is a solid way to do this, and here's a Knowledge Base article that also explains how to transfer data in binary or ASCII format, How do I Transfer Data Between The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® Software Development Environment and LabV...

Thank you,
