Abstract: A system and method for creating a graphical program which accesses data from/to one or more of a data source or a data target. The present invention greatly simplifies the task of creating or configuring a graphical program to exchange data with a data source and/or data target. When a user is creating or configuring a graphical program, the user may cause various nodes or icons to be displayed on the display and may connect the various nodes or icons together. If the user desires the graphical program to access data from/to one or more of a data source or a data target, the user may cause to be displayed a data access node in the graphical program. The user may then configure the data access node with location information of one or more of a data source or a data target. For example, the user may provide a URL specifying a location of the data source or the data target. The computer system may then construct execution instructions in response to the graphical program, wherein the execution instructions are executable to access data from/to the one or more of the data source or the data target as indicated by the data access node. The execution instructions may then be executed, wherein the data access node accesses data from/to the one or more of the data source or the data target during execution.

Abstract: A Data Socket client and associated applications and/or tools which provide programs with access to data from various sources and having various types or formats, wherein the access is provided invisibly to the user. The Data Socket client allows the user or program to access any data source available on the user's machine as well as data anywhere on a network, such as a LAN, WAN or the Internet. In the preferred embodiment, the Data Socket client addresses data sources or I/O sources using a URL (uniform resource locator), much the way that a URL is used to address web pages anywhere in the world. The present invention also includes new Data Socket URLs which allow the user to access I/O sources.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a node in a graphical program by programmatically generating graphical source code associated with the node. The node may initially have no functionality or may have default functionality and may be able to take on different functionality in the graphical program, depending on configuration user input received. User input specifying desired functionality for the node may be received via a GUI. Graphical source code may then be programmatically generated for the node, such that the node is operable to implement the specified desired functionality when the graphical program is executed. Since the graphical source code associated with the node is generated programmatically, a nullminimalnull amount of graphical source code may be generated.
