Labwindows/CVI with a (embedded?) script interface

[gcsmit]

I wonder if its possible to control a labwindows/cvi program via a script, like calcexpress for labview. This can be by embedding some script interpret (tcl?) or not. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any other pointers would be welcome too.

One way to control a CVI app is by making it a COM server, and using an activex enabled scripting language. You can do this fairly easily with CVI 6.0. But you cannot embed tcl scripts within CVI.

You could also make a CVI dll and call it from the script as well. There are extentions to tcl available that allow you to call C dll's

I hope this helps
