At our company, we use several pi-servers interconnected over the world. What is the best way to connect LabVIEW with Osisoft without reinventing the wheel? So pi-libraries seems the best option. What do you think? A PI server 2012 prerelease can be downloaded and installed at home. Operating until end 2012.
Have you considered OPC? http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14253/en
We now have a LabVIEW/PI connectivity kit in the NI Reference Design Portal.
Installation instructions, LabVIEW Virtual Instruments, and sample code files, can be obtained at this posting on the NI Reference Design Portal
