3rd party operation by Labview

[hobbes8000]

I'm trying to operate a 3rd party software with Labview. All I want to do is hit the "acquire" button of the 3rd party software.

The 3rd party software is an EMCCD(Andor-Solis Xion) software. Below is the illustration of the situation.

* Also I would be thankful if anyone can give me the Andor Labview SDK. I've requested it to the manufacturors, but I have no reply!  

I would be really thankfull for everyones support.

Thank you.

Have you tried something to achieve this? I am not familiar with EMCCD, but with LabVIEW you can Launch the third party software using cmd functions. 

But clicking the a acquire button of the third party software may be difficult. If you have control over the third party software you can modify in a such a way that it will receive the information using LAbVIEW Functions/File Mode.

I've used AutoIT for something similar to this before.

It includes a DLL and ActiveX that LabVIEW can use to access its functions, and a "Window info" program that helps you identify the names of buttons on other windows to target them more easily.
