Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way to pass parameters between two Labview built Applications.
I have two Labview Applications : the first one should be able to pass a paramter( in this case it is a file path) to the other application.
I am using LabVIEW 8.2.
Please can somebody help me reslove this issue.
Thanks

Siddarth,
you can use one of the following techniques:
- Shared Variables (Network Published)
- DataSocket
- TCP/UDP communication
- File I/O
- ActiveX (Use one application as server, only available in Windows)
hope this helps,

Hi there
there are several ways to solve this, depending of what you wnt to do:
- You can pass data by shared configuration files (that's the easiest way) (preffered for simple, static data)
- You can use some server/client technologies, like UDP, TCP, DataSocket, Shared Variables (preferred for dynamic online data)
- You can use VI-Server to have access to control values of LV applications (preffered for remote control of applications)
if it is just a simple static path, i'd choss the first method.
