Can SystemC code be imported into LabView. Does it generate a VI of the hardware modelled in SystemC. Basically SystemC is just a library over C++. So are its features supported by LabVIEW. And to what level of abstraction can a SoC be modelled in it?

You have to be more specific as to what you are trying to do. Are you interested in importing the SystemC code to program the FPGA?

If you are interested in programming the NI FPGA hardware, then you have to use LabVIEW (more specifically the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module). 

If you are interested in programming the host, I have heard about the FPGA Interface C API (not worked with it though). With the FPGA Interface C API, you can program the real-time processor on NI FPGA-based hardware using C tools such as NI LabWindows/CVI , Microsoft Visual Studio, or Wind River Workbench and interface to the LabVIEW FPGA code running on the FPGA.

Thanks Adnan for throwing light on the various possibilities. I actual intend to go for Virtualization, as in Virtual Platforming wherein the entire coding is done in SystemC. So can I import that SystemC code into LabVIEW and get a VI depicting the virtual device i constructed using SystemC.

LabVIEW is a development environment and language just like any other programming language. You cannot do what you have just described. I would recommend downloading LabVIEW and building some simple applications in it (you can run it free for evaluation for 30 days).

To download LabVIEW, click Download LabVIEW.

Hello everybody, I'm in the same case as Himanshi and I'm asking myself something. As the SystemC is just made of C++, can we just make a DLL file to input this program in Labview ? Thank you.
