Description

Overview


LabVIEW Web services allow you to run Embedded Server Pages (ESP) scripts that generate dynamic content, such as an HTML interface, on the LabVIEW Web Server. ESP is a scripting language created by MbedThis and supported by the LabVIEW Web Server. ESP has a similar structure and functionality as Javascript.

Creating ESP Scripts

ESP scripting works with the LabVIEW Web Server architecture. The white paper PDF attached above provides information about how ESP scripting works and how to create ESP scripts.
