Overview

This example shows how to output your computer's IP Address and Computer Name.

 

Description

This is a simple VI that outputs your computer's IP Address and Computer Name in LabVIEW.  This example VI uses the String to IP function to grab the network address array. Once this array has been found, you can then index the array into the separate network addresses. From there, these addresses are passed into the IP to String function to display the computer name and IP Address.

 

Requirements

  • LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Download and open the IP and Computer Name example VI
  2. Run the VI
  3. Observe on the front panel the computer name and IP Address of the computer
