Subject: LabView-Midas interface 
> Does anyone have experience with writing a MIDAS frontends to communicate with a device that operates using LabView (e.g. superconducting magnets, cryostats etc.). Any information or experience regarding this would be highly appreciated.

Yes, in the ALPHA anti-hydrogen experiment at CERN we have been doing this since 2006.

Original system is very simple, labview side opens a TCP socket to the MIDAS felabview frontend
and sends the numeric data as an ASCII string. The first four chars of the data is the name
of the MIDAS data bank, second number is the data timestamp in seconds.

LCRY 1234567 1.1 2.2 3.3

A newer iteration is feGEM written by Joseph McKenna (member of this forum), it uses a more sophisticated
labview component. Please contact him directly for more information.

I can provide you with the source code for my original felabiew (pretty much unchanged from circa 2006).
