USB 7845r remote control

Hi,

 

how to make my LV host VI communicating with a USB 7845r resource on a remote system. Host VI running on a laptop, USB device connected to a lab PC, both machines on the same network. I tried VISA server but it looks like the 7845r isn't VISA device   

Thanks.

Did you try to connect it through FPGA module?

yes,  RIO installed on my Computer (PCI/USB etc.) is the only option, no remote device whatsoever is available when starting a new FPGA project. I see PCI/PXI RIO for example 783x may be accessed remotely enabling VISA server on the PC they are connected to. This is not possible with 7845r devices, is it? Am I missing something?

You should use the NI-RIO server instead of visa.

Thank you Michael, NI-RIO server does the trick! Indeed it works perfectly with python API.
