Hey everyone!

I just started having a closer look at LabView (not impressed with the
sloggish performance of my system since I installed the development
environment, but that's different topic).

Anyways - since my googling skills seem to be failing me this time:

I want to use an API call to fetch a measurement value from another
software (that provides the API). Then I want to display that in a graph.

So - can someone point me to the right control for the LabView block
diagram?

Edit: I just found the "Call Library Function" is that what I need?

Best Regards,

Lars

Ok - I need to rephrase: Is this newsgroup dead, when dead means
"extremely low traffic" as in less than 1 post per week avg.? :)
