Controlling windriver(Part of Vxworks) from labview

[Gops]

Hello,

I want to evaluate a performace of an embedded product using VxWorks. We are planning to use WindView to analyse the performance. I plan to automate this testing using labview I need to control some more instruments through serial port. Can someone give me information on the windview software and possibility to control windview form labiew. So that if possible I can use the data captured by windview in my labview application.

Regards
Gopal

Hi Gopal,

I hope you're doing well.  It sounds like you are looking for wants for WindView and LabVIEW to interact programmatically.  I'm not sure if WindView has an ActiveX server, but this is one common way we would automate 3rd party software.  LabVIEW can access an ActiveX object and invoke its methods to control the application.  This Developer Zone tutorial discusses how LabVIEW can interact with ActiveX.  It's possible that there are methods you can use to pass data between the two.  You may even want to check with the developers of WindView to see if they have an interface they've built that can be used in LabVIEW.  This will likely be ActiveX under the hood, but they may have already developed a set of VIs you can use to save you some work.  Maybe some of the other users who have worked with WindView can provide some insight as well.  I hope this is helpful!
