Improve connectivity between Diadem and LabView

[Swimmer]

Diadem offers limited capability for creating complex user interfaces and software strategies.

For this we use LabView as a front end and run Diadem in the background to handle the complex data analysis operations.

But the ActiveX connectivity between LV and Diadem has its limitations.

The most recent that bugs me is when programatically opening Diadem from LV using the ActiveX controls I can't close the reference without Diadem closing also.  (unless Diadem was opened before using the ActiveX vi's)

There are a couple of work arounds such as opening Diadem using a wizard VI or using the SystemExec.vi, and then using the ActiveX vi's.

For passing information between the two systems it would be nice if NI developed a better method for communications similar to shared variables in LabView.

Hi Swimmer,

Closing the reference without Diadem closing should be possible through setting the TOCommand property bDontCloseApplication as documented in the online help of the TOCommand interface. Hope that helps.

Could you give us an idea of what capabilities you're missing in DIAdem that keep you from creating your complex user interfaces and software strategies with DIAdem means?

Thanks,

Marcus

Hello

Thank you for your request. We understand your suggestion but given that that just a few sponsors are supporting your entry and nearly no other customer asked this extension direct to us, we have decided to decline this suggestion. Nevertheless, we keep it in ore list of possible extensions however with a low priority and prefer to develop more frequently requested features instead. We hope you understand this.

Greetings
