Connect CFP-2000 with Measurement Studio

[GURO]

Hi, I haven't understood how to connect a CFT-2000 module with Measurement Studio and VC++.

Can any one help me to find documentation and sample related this task?

I'm  interested into this topics:

- is it possible to manage a CFT-2000 ethernet device with MAX? In ordere to use that device can i use DAQmx?

- which  kind of data I will recive over ethernet raw, scaled..

- is it possible to select one particular board of AI?

- is it possible to execute multiple applictions (LabView and  Measeurement Studio) connected with the same CFTP-2000 controller into one PC?

Thanks

Dear Bobby60,

You can connect and configure cFP 2000 from MAX through NI-Field Point and Labview Real Time.
You have to use Labview Real Time to program an application on the cFP 2000.
Comms to Labview and Measurement Studio can be realized through OPC Shared Variable and TCP/IP. In the last option you will have to program your own server in labview RT and deal with multiple client stuff.

Thanks for your reply i can't beleave!

Is it possible to use MAX for manage Shared Variables or have to use DataSocket with psp protocol?
I can also use OPC, but is the OPC server  an optional package?

Have a nice day

Dear Bobby60,

Please Note Measurement and Automation explorer ( MAX ) isn't Measurement Studio.

MAX is our monitoring and configuration software while Measurement Studio is a sort of plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio that gives you better SW object to interact with NI SW and HW.

Probably it was clear to you but it's better to point out  before it leads to misunderstandig,
That said you cannot configure Shared Variables with MAX you need the Variable Manager that comes with Labview. Once SharedVariable are correctly deployed on your system you can connect to them either from Labview or Measurement Studio or CVI.
