same machine are capable of exchanging info/data? Are the functions: CreateNamedPipes(), CallNamedPipes(), etc. supported, and do they work with LabWindows CVI? If so, are there any example codes showing the implementation of client side and server side?We don't provide a native library is CVI for communicating with Namep Pipes. We do provide libraries and examples for three types of interprocess communication: TCP, DDE, and DataSocket. TCP and DDE are standard interprocess communication protocols and DataSocket is our own data publishing tool to easily share data between applications.
You could look into one of these tools or if you prefer or need Named Pipes, the FDS version of CVI comes with the full Microsoft Software Development Kit (SDK) that provides functions for NamedPipe communication that can be used in CVI. If you have the FDS with SDK support installed, you can get help for named pipe functions by searching the SDK help available in the menu at Help->SDK Help. We don't have SDK examples for name
d piped, but you may find some on http://msdn.microsoft.com.
