Hello Mazhar,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.  If I understand your question correctly you would like to know how to utilize front panel communication on a Fieldpoint 2010.  If you are just trying to view the Front Panel of your Fieldpoint VI on your development computer then you should be able to open up the front panel on the development computer and see it running.  However, if you are trying to communicate the information from the front panel to a non-development machine there are a few different methods.  Here is a knowledgebase article that explains some of the different methods that you can use.  Here is some more information about setting up a remote front panel for a Real-Time target executable that also may assist you.  Please let me know if you have any further questions or if it seems that I do not fully understand your question.  I hope this helps!

Hello Mazhar,

I just want to clarify a few things.  Is there a reason why you want to use the sub panel?  This Front Panel Communication that you are using is only used for development purposes.  The best way to create a user interface for a Fieldpoint program would be to use shared variables, TCP/IP, or VI Server.  This user interface that you create will support the sub panel that you are trying to implement.  This would be the ideal situation to create the exact user interface required by your solution.  Here is a link that will help describe some of your options for communication.  I hope this information helps!
