Serial interface: In serial interface I want to connect my Micro controller 89C51 with the lookout (As my Hardware is not in PLCor RTU .It is Made On Microcontroller ).So I want to apply conditioning on ASCII code what I am recieving from my controller (actually it is sanding ASCII code on different condition).HOw I use to control in Lookout. I have seen Modules Slave but I think this is not for me .Kindly guide me regarding this.
For Serial communication you will have to use the ASCII Object. Unfortunately, this isn't the easiest Object to use in Lookout. But once you understand the different formatters (RQVs and RSVs), you can implement a fairly decent Serial driver with it. Search the forums/NI's support site for an example.
VB Interface: Regarding this I want to connect my VB applet with lookout
What does this VB applet do? If it's spitting out some serial data, for instance, you can again use the ASCII Object. If it's doing some computation, then you will need to get to it some other way. For instance, can you turn the VB applet into an ActiveX Control? You can then use the ActiveX control in Lookout. This to me seems the easiest way. Other options are DDE, etc.
Excel Connection: How I can Store My Data on Excel by lookout.
There's a DataTable Object in Lookout which lets you export data to Excel. Read the Online help on this Object for full details.
Simply Run: I want to make a EXE file where I can run on first time ( at the moment I am 1st have to start lookout than it start my project)
You can specify a Lookout process as a 'Startup process.' This setting (I believe) is under System settings. Once you have specified the Startup process, this process gets launched every time Lookout is launched. All you now have to do is place the shortcut for the Lookout.exe in your Windows' Startup folder. This way: On Starting your PC, Windows launches Lookout, and Lookout launches your process.
Hope this helps,
