how to read write labview network shared variable from c++


LabVIEW gives the possibility of sharing variables over the network. I would like to be able to read and set those variable from my C++ code. (I run under linux system)

I read there are some DLL API for communication but of course they do not fit my purpose.

I guess we the whole communication should be simply based on sockets and therefore I guess should be more than feasible from linux environment.

Does anyone have some information/ideas about this topic?


Solution

  • It's not very easy to find it on the website but I have been pointed out to an official library, NI LabWindows™/CVI™ 2009 Help - Network Variable Library, that should do all the magic.

    I haven't tested it yet though.
