Hi all

I was working the DDE (dynamic data exchange) Vi's......... I have a DDE server working "facon Server " . I was trying it to link it to Labview but it keeps giving me error " LabVIEW:  A client's attempt to establish a conversation has failed " .

From internet search I came acros the facon Server DDE notions document which i hav attached . I also did the same thing using excel , which is working fine. but with labivew I am gettin the error.

I have attached the Vi and jpeg of error , alsoo a reference document for Facon Svr.

nolsqn, 

I'm not very familiar with DDE nor Facon servers.  But I'm curious why you aren't using Datasockets?  It maybe beneficial to test and see if you can connect to the server using this NI utility?

Any more information you could provide me with could help me figure your issue out.

Hi Allie ...

I donot know much about DataSockets . Although i did read tht DDE is no more supported by LAbview rather Active X should be used .. but i would be glad if you let me know how datasocket can be helpful ..

nolsqn,

DataSockets is free programming technology that National Instruments developed to allow for easy data transfer over many different protocols (DSTP, OPC, LOOKOUT, HTTP, FTP, and local file access). It should allow you to communicate with your Facon Server.

Is this the kind of application you are looking for?
