basic real time network communications

[rogerbarchha]

Hello

I am trying to get LABVIEW 7 to receive data from a custom application using Ethernet.
I have reviewed the information on http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/A6F17EE4ADCAB99686256D5E0053E210#2
however I have not fingered out how to apply this in practice.

i can modify the custom application in any way that is needed to conform to labviews protocols.

my question is as follows:
what steps must I take to receive data from an application, and have the data (eg. temperatures recorded in real time using custom data acquisition hardware) displayed (and ultimately logged) using labview on a different computer from the other data acquisition.

thank you for your help.

Hello,

the document you linked discribes the use of the LabVIEW RT module to communicate with a LabVIEW RT Controller (PXI-System, Fieldpoint system etc.), so this won´t help you much. You need to search for information about TCP/IP communication. Here you can find some information:

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzone.nsf/webcategories/A671D9FE1C555C538625679300709756

You will find examples for LabView there as well.

Hope this helps!
