I am analysing and logging production data from our plant PLCs to a LabVIEW server computer. The server computer is networked to all other computers through a local network connection, however none of them have LabVIEW installed as we only bought one licence.
I would like to know the best way for another computer to connect to the server computer to view and gain control of the vi’s I have set up. I have tried the web-publishing, but the html document does not provide the visual clarity or interaction the client needs from my vi’s.
I know by default, LabVIEW comes with one client licence and this is all I’ll need at any one time. Do I need the runtime engine to be installed on the computers with no LabVIEW software on them?
Please help, I’m a little unsure what the best solution is.
Many thanks,
Stuart

What do you mean by "the html document does not provide the visual clarity or interaction the client needs from my vi’s"?
The HTML document uses ActiveX and should give you the same appearance as your FP, although It usually works slower and doesn't display local popups. Is this what you meant?
If you want a more generalized solution, you can try looking at VNC, which is a free remote control protocol which will allow you to control your entire computer remotely.
