Hi all,
I am trying to remotely control/view LabVIEW application through a web page (I am running LabVIEW 2010 on 32-bit Windows 7 machine). I have created a simple VI (Test.vi) on computer 1. Then under Options --> Web Server have enabled the remote panel server, set HTTP port, set visible VIs to Test.vi and allowed all browser addresses under Browser Access. Then I've used Web Publishing Tool to create an .html file. In next step I've created an application and installation file. Then I installed the Test.vi application on computer 2, which is a laptop (32-bit Windows 7 machine). It is connected wirelessly to the router.
Well, I guess this is where the gray area begins for me. I'm not too sure what to do from here. First of all, the .html that was earlier created, what do I do with it? Is there a way to attach when I create an application?
Anyways, I would greatly appreciate any help regarding this issue. There seems to be a lack of clear guide as how to do this in situation like this.
Thanks.
Regards,
Viktar

Hi Viktar,
As a preliminary measure, have you walked through the steps outlined in our Knowledge Base under How Do I Enable LabVIEW Web Server or Use Remote Panels With an Executable Built in LabVIEW? I tend to find this article very helpful and I check back to it quite often. If you have stepped through the linked KB, which areas are you confused or having issues with?
Happy Programming!

HI Kyle,
yes, I've went over the knowledge base (KB) to which you've pointed. However, what really helped me was the following article http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7F95D43D3F50FCAC8625710E000068E1. Thanks for replying.

Viktar,
That's a great one too, so did that article clear up what to do with the .html file?

Viktar,
That's great to hear. I noticed the KB you found was not linked to the one I had found, but the reverse is true. I went ahead and submitted a request to guarentee those two are fully linked for future users.
Happy Programming!
