How to integrate networking with Labview

[DoomPirate]

Hi,

I have a computer(which runs windows xp embedded) which uses labview to displays resistances of different resistors.

We'll call this deviceX

How do I make it such that other computers on the same network as this computer will be able to communicate this deviceX.

I want deviceX to be able to receive commands and send back whatever the client requests.

I am pretty fluent in labview, but I dont know which direction to go with in this network problem.

 Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,

Philip

Hi Philip,

i think you can use TCP/IP to communicate with your device X. Did  you see the TCP/IP examples?

yeah, It looks difficult. Im gonna have a long day ahead of me.

Depends on what you need to accomplish.  If you want users on different computers interact with the program running on Device X you can do remote front panel.  This displays the front panel of the vi or exe running on device X in a web page.

If you want something more advanced the TCP/IP would be the way to go.

Thanks for the advice. A front panel would not suffice so I'm currently learning from the TCP/IP examples in labview.

And have you looked at remote panels?
