Can I transmit data directly from HP Vee to LAbview via ActiveX?

[Dominik]

In ActiveX Control of HP Vee I could see that there is a LabVIEW library. I have both programs installed on the PC. Who knows how I can transfer data directly from HP Vee 6.0 to LabVIEW 6i? Is it fast enough for real time control?

You can control LV from pretty much any automation client program
including VEE. The LV automation server allows you to get a reference
to a VI, set the values of controls on the panel by name, execute the
VI, and read the indicators back. With this, you can quickly make some
functions in LV that allow VEE to read, write, and start tasks in LV.

Hi Greg,
i have installed Labview 8.5 and Vee 8.5, but in Vee "ActiveX Control References" i cant find something with Labview.

There are this entries:
Nation INstruments Citadel
Nation INstruments CW 3D Graph
Nation INstruments IVI DCPower
Nation INstruments DMM
Nation INstruments Fgen
Nation INstruments Scope
Nation INstruments Switch
Nation INstruments Tols
Nation INstruments UI
Nation INstruments Data Navigator
Nation INstruments Data Source
Nation INstruments MaxCtrl

But where is this Automation Server that you mean? Is this an extra installation?
Thx

Btw: I also want to call Labview-VIs in a Vee-function.

Hi OnlyOne,

To be able to use ActiveX controls in LabVIEW, you can either use the ActiveX container or the Automation VIs.

An article called ActiveX and LabVIEW talks about the various ways of using ActiveX in LabVIEW.

For more information on ActiveX Functions, please refer to the ActiveX Functions (Windows) help.

Hopefully this helps!!
