Issue Details

  • I found some Datasocket VI provided together with LabVIEW which is available at C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\<LabVIEW version>\vi.lib\Platform\dataskt.llb directory. Are these API supported by NI?

  • What Datasocket function are in LabVIEW?

Solution

The VI and function found at C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\<LabVIEW version>\vi.lib\Platform\dataskt.llb directory are legacy API and no longer supported in LabVIEW version 2009 and after.

The only supported Datasocket function are DataSocket Read Function, DataSocket Write Function, DataSocket Select URL, DataSocket Open Function and DataSocket Close Function. Any DataSocket other than these function are either legacy API or created by third party developers. Please refer to the supported DataSocket function below.
