Hi @sam836 welcome to the OpenTAP Forum!

1 and 2 are somewhat the same. LabVIEW has an ActiveX interface, so it can be called from C# within the OpenTAP architecture, or compiled as a DLL:

We can see the thread here for someone that has tried this, I know a few others have as well:

> Hello. I’m trying to use NI’s network variable to send some results to labview program. Inside the result listener, I added code like this: //initialize the network variables \_stringWriter = new NetworkVariableBufferedWriter\<string\>(StringNetworkVariableLocation); \_stringWriter.Connect(); It showed errors in session log like this: 16:26:01.407 Summary -------- Test plan completed successfully in 3.67 s -------- 16:26:01.419 PyPowerAnalyzer Device PSU closed 16…

1. This is really up to your preference. We have SDK’s in C# and Python, and those are the most common, but like LabVIEW above it is fairly easy to integrate with any other programming language.

Can you share a bit more on what it is you are looking for and trying to do? I think this is an interesting topic for many here.
