I realize that there may be open source solutions for this but I would love a robust easy to use email function on completion. Essentially, I am gearing up to run some larger batched analysis routines on a remote workstation for our user group. The analysis time and queue length will vary from minutes to hours (hopefully not days yet). I would love the option to email the user on completion, failure, or email me if something really goes crazy.

 

The problem with the current simple email solution (unless authentication was really recently implemented) is that almost every SMTP server requires additional  authentication to combat spammers I suppose.

I know we used to have this web server feature 6-7 years ago.

I would request a function where we can export designated panel which user can control from web. Also provides an option to have read only or read/write access. Also password options.

 

Something like this.

 

ExportPanelToWebServer (panelHandle, READ_ONLY_FLAG, PASSWORD_FLAG, PASSWORD);

//This starts web server automatically and ready for connection on port 80.

 

This opens door to lots of applications which requires web control. I think LabVIEW has similar feature. (Web publishing tool)

IPv6 is becoming more ubiquitous each year.  More and more the US government is requiring it for defense designs.  Microsoft has supported it in Visual Studio since 2008.  Even Agilent Vee supports it. It should strongly be considered for both LabWindows CVI and Labview.  There are workarounds using dlls, but a company like NI shouldn't expect users to have to do that.  I am off to start my workaround.  Please give this not so new idea some serious consideration.  Thanks.

Implement HTTP Requests into a CVI Library that can perform get, head, put and post functions for connectivity to devices that are wireless or connected to an ethernet cable. Also provoide a mechanism for the body and header from the HTTP Request message. Currently LabView has this capability for HTTP Requests but Lab Windows CVI does not. The work around solution is to use .Net Controllers for HTTP Requests for Lab Windows CVI. See example: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-24802
