using USB 6051 on a remote PC through ethernet

Hello all,

 

I have two PCs connected by ethernet cable. I want to plug in the USB 6051 to one of them and use it from the other PC. How do I do that ?

 

My software is LabWindows/CVI 9.0

 

I saw a tutorial explaining how to control remote devices that work with Traditional DAQ but USB 6051 works with DAQmx...

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Michael

Hi Michael,

 

Unfortunately the DAQmx driver does not support Remote Data Acquisition, which is what is usable for Traditional NI-DAQ devices. There is an option via LabVIEW called remote front panels, however, I see that you are using LabWindows/CVI 9.0. Unfortunately, there is no direct parallel for this with LabWindows/CVI. One thing that you could pursue is to use remote procedure calls (RPC). We don't ship CVI with an RPC library. I would check out this link, which has information about using RPC with CVI and has a couple of links where you might be able to find an RPC library. Also, here is a link to a wikipedia description of RPC. I hope this helps.
