Develop Lookout Driver

[Alpha7D]

Hi sbassett:

  Yes, the SCADA is already developed. Just want to use LabView for some of it nice interface for certain data. What is the right way to implement the interface between Lookout and our SCADA. I read many documents on Labview, CVI, Lookout, it seems to me that it is not straight forward. I need to bind VIs to external data.

  In other words, how can a 3rd party people develop another protocol driver (such as DNP3.0) for Labview or Lookout?

National Instruments does provide an Object Developer Toolkit for Lookout with which you can create your own CBXs files.

However, since your SCADA system is already communicating with your hardware you should only need to send the data over TCP/IP to your windows Machine where LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Lookout would be able to read this data and display it

Right, and in which case you would need just LabVIEW, and not Lookout.
