Datasocket works, Shared variables dont?

[1984]

Hi community,

the title tells it all. I'd like to initiate a communication between the computers with shared variables. I am using the example project shipped with labview, which works fine on a local computer, but it doesnt when I try to use on different PCs. When I try to browse for the variables published on the network I dont even see that PC.

Which is quite odd, because datasocket communication works without an issue.

Can you help me out with some hints?

thanks!

Hi 1984,

Please check this paper regarding the issue. There is a step by step on how to do the communication using shared variable.

Thanks mate! I know how to work with shared variables, the problem I have is that the subscriber PC does not "see" the server PC. Datasocket works.

With your SVs, did you accidentally change their scope to only be local?  If not, it'd be strange to see them working on the local machine but not on the network.  I'd expect an all or none attitude.
