Hello,
I just did a quick websearch and wasn't able to find any information on getting LabVIEW to work with this VWIN software of which you speak. If this software has ActiveX capabilities, you should be able to communicate with it from LabVIEW without any problems...LabVIEW has the ability to control other programs with its ActiveX tools. If your VWIN software does not support ActiveX, however, your options are rather limited...you could use the "System Exec" VI in LabVIEW to launch the VWIN software from LabVIEW, but you would have no control over it from LabVIEW.
There are other ways of communicating between programs (DLL calls, simple ASCII text file writing, etc.), but these would not be as easy as ActiveX. You may want to contact the manufacturer of this softwar
e and ask them if they known of any of their customers attempting to control the software externally, and if so, what methods they used.
I wish you luck with your application. Also, in the future please post LabVIEW-related question in the appropriate LabVIEW forum.
Have a pleasant day.
Sincerely,
Darren N.
NI Applications Engineer
