Hi Suni,
Just as a follow up post, using STM would depend on the application architecture. This article discusses more about using STM in your application with LabVIEW.
A Simple Messaging Reference Library (STM) for LabVIEW
In specific, this section is the most relevant for you:
"The TCP/IP protocol is the most common method for sharing information between hosts. The TCP/IP protocol provides a medium for data sharing, but it is up to the application to implement the logic that optimizes performance and makes sense of the data. For more sophisticated applications, the following additional functionality is desirable as part of the communication protocol:
- Ability to send meta information for ease of data manipulation
- Ability to send and receive data with a naming convention
- Ability to send and receive many data types (string, I8, array of doubles, clusters, etc.)"
In most cases, TCP has provided sufficient. Of course, with TCP, you have the advantage of modfying an existing example to fit your needs.
Hope this helps!
Warm regards,
