title: Transfer Value via UDP between Simulink/Labview
body: <p>I'm working on a project that requires a value be passed in real-time between Matlab's Simulink and Labview on networked systems (currently running Matlab 2010b and Labview 7.0). I've been trying to do this with UDP Send/Receive functions in either program, however Labview only seems to deal in Strings with UDP/TCP-IP. Simulink only reads int/double values from UDP ports. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to convert these values AFTER the read-in operation, or otherwise get around the type restriction? Any advice (or alternative ways to pass a value between the two programs) would really be appreciated. Unfortunate, due to hardware restrictions, I'm stuck with these program versions.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
