What is the easiest way to communicate between Labview and Measurement Studios?

[tater]

We have developed a Parker motor simulation program that runs on Measurement Studios but we would like to open the program from a call in Labview, any ideas?

Hi tater,
 
One way to accomplish this would be to compile the simulation program into a dll or a series of dlls and call them from LabVIEW. If your Parker Motor program has its own user interface, then building that app as a standalone executable and then calling it with a System Exec.vi call would be your best bet. For more information on DLLs and external code in LabVIEW see the following links:

The other option would be to use Measurement Studio to control your devices instead of LabVIEW and integrate the simulation into Measurement Studio.
