I got this very cool box from OMEGA. It is a web-enabled stand alone temperature measurement module that can monitor up to 8 channels of RTD, thermocouple, thermistor, or semiconductor, plus 8 channels of digital IO's. The model number of the module is OM-WEB-TEMP. It comes with a LabVIEW drive. The problem is that the drive works only with LabVIEW version 8.5 and later. For those of us still have lots of PXI's that running on older LabVIEW versions, we are out of luck on this. Because the older versions do not even support HTTP Get method. The good news is that as long as the version supports TCP, we can program it to support the HTTP with the port number set to 80. Here is an simple example of HTTP Get method based on the TCP in LabVIEW version 7.1.
