Multiple Calls to .NET Constructor Node in Labview

[thutch79]

Will multiple calls to a .net constructor node in Labview allow multiple calls to the methods in that assembly to happen in parallel? Here is a snapshot of what I'm trying to do.

Assuming the .NET object was written correctly, it should not be a problem. Where did you get the .NET assembly from? Is it a commercial product or something somebody cooked up on thier own?

It's something we've been working on internally. It's a wrapper for compiled matlab code. I just wanted to be sure labview wouldn't get in the way of parallel operation.

The trouble may be getting parallel operation out of the matlab code though. Our initial test seems to indicate making multiple calls only gets one instance of the matlab runtime.

That is a real possibility - and is why I asked the question. Depending upon what the assembly is doing there can be a lot or pieces to the puzzle.

But that brings up a second question: Why are you bothering with the outside stuff at all? A MathNode in LV can execute m-file code directly.

Mathnode needs a matlab license on the machine. This app needs to be deployable without a matlab license. We also looked at mathscript, but that is very limited and seems half-baked at this point. We already know we will use functions not supported by mathscript and even the things we tried were very annoying to try to get working. When things fail in a mathscript, there is very little indication of what the problem is.
