Presentation and Demos | Building Basic Web Applications with LabVIEW

This is a presentation with an overview of demos about getting started with web technology. Please view the attached PDF slides for context about this technology, and open and run the variety of demos that are attached.

 

Requirements:

LabVIEW 2014+ Full or Professional

Notepad++ (recommended for modifying HTML and JS files)

 

Demos included (for tutorials on how to build these demos, click link):

1. Add two numbers using the LabVIEW Web Server

2. Use HTML and JS to create a simple web interface for your adder. Modify the response model.

3. Call external JavaScript libraries to extend your web client such as Google Charts and jQuery (no tutorial yet, see attached source code)

4. Use a cloud server such as data.sparkfun.com to host data and have your web client just load data from this server. (no tutorial yet, see attached source code or check out examples on data.sparkfun.com)

5. Use a JS framework such as Bootstrap to create a responsive menu for your application. Look at a completed test and measurement example.

The Demos.zip is a great way to get started. However, I had some problems getting Demo 5 working out of the box. Here are some modifications I had to make:

- Main.vi needs to be in the "Startup VIs" folder of the WebMessageHandler web service

- UserInterface.vi needs to ignore errors from Unflatten from JSON. I had the unflatten fail sometimes sending an error in the shift register that could only be cleared by disconnect/reconnect

Hello,

I've some trouble with Demo 3 JavaScript Libraries. If I start the webservice on my computer (port 8001 debug mode) and open "initial.html", I have the graph on my screen but without data.

If I open "random" file with web browser, I have 100 data (waveform data). Each time I refresh the page, I have a new set of data so this Random.vi is working

I think that something doesn't work in the JavaScript but I don't know what's wrong in it. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Elnin83,

Have you tried both the 'initial.html' and 'initial_submit.html'?

The one with the submit button uses jquery instead of a raw HTTP request. It sounds like the problem is in the AJAX request and getting the data formatted correctly. Both of these demos still work fine for me on Chrome with LabVIEW 2015 (LabVIEW 2013 and 2014 will be the same).

Hi Joey,

New download of Lvproject.

I start my Webservice (port 8001)  then I use "show public URL" by right clicking on initial_submit or initial.html file. Copy and paste to web browser. I tried both initial.html and initial_submit.html with Chrome. My graph is still empty.

Stop webservice and try to deploy (port 8080). Same result.

Webserver properties :

random.vi

  • URL Mapping : GET method with both standard URL mapping & name of VI included
  • Output type : terminal JSON

Random .vi is working fine, output terminal is waveform type and I have one hundred new data.

I'm working with Labview 2014 SP1.

Thanks.

Random bug that may be affecting you: the server doesn't work correctly if the "Show method URL" dialog is still open. Make sure to click close first.

I fixed a -67301 by deleting the *WEB.vi and starting over !  I only discovered this by doing the AddTwo WebServer example - which worked first go, and only difference to the Shared Variable example is I might have done a rename of the vi.
