Do I Need to Purchase NI OPC Server to Work With LabVIEW DSC if I Already Have Lookout?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>DSC Module
Primary Software Version: 7.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: Lookout

Problem:
I recently purchased LabVIEW DSC Module to take advantage of its programming capabilities. I need to communicate with my PLC which I was able to do previously with Lookout. Can I still use Lookout as the OPC Server or do I need to purchase NI OPC?

Solution:
You do not need to purchase NI OPC to act as your OPC Server.  You can still use Lookout.  For more information on how to use this in LabVIEW DSC see the related links.
