Hi I'm completely new to labview and only have a bit of experience using C++ (about 1 high school course worth).
I'm learning to use a lab setup that has a C program that works with a data acquistion card and a labview VI that works with a GPIB card. Currently they run seperately which requires some manual control of the the programs. I was wondering if there is anyway that the C++ program can communicate with the labview VI. Specifically, when a certain temperature the C++ program acquires through the data aq. card is met, I need a boolean switch to be flipped on in the labview VI.
I was thinking of making the C program write to a text file, and the Labview program reading the text file. Will this work? Does anyone know of a simple solution to my problem? It doesn't have to be pretty.
