Can Labwindows/CVI be interfaced with le SciLab?

[LeonardoPiantino]

Is it possible to make an interface between a LabWindows project and a Scilab program?

Thanks,

Leonardo

Hello Leonardo,

For sure it's possible to achieve that in LabVIEW.

For CVI it will not be so evident, what exactly you want to interface in LabWindows/CVI.

Hello Omar,

I have a CVI GUI and I need it to send some data to a Scilab application and to receive the result of the data treatment, every time period. 

Is it possible?

Hi Leonardo,

Usually there is 2 ways to use a CVI GUI in another language but since I never used your software (Scilab), I'm not sure it will work properly. Indeed, aftter created your GUI you can create a DLL with CVI and call it FROM Scilab or create a ActiveX Servers in CVI, check out this link. Creating an ActiveX server would do everything you needed but it looks more difficult to achieve compared to the DLL solution.
