[Dost]

I am using labview 7.1 i want to use and control my VI (that is acquiring data from NI card) remotely either using webbrowser or any other mean. i want to know what should i use to do this

1. should i use internet tool kit fo rthis purpose and if yes than is it freely avaialable from ni . i have licesened version of labivew 7.1 it does not contain internet ool kit.

2. can remote front panel can do this job but in this case where i can down load the lab view run time engine as i came to know it is must to use remote front panel.

The Internet Tool kit is not free but is not required for remote control. The remote panel is designed to do what you ask. The run-time engine must match the version of LabVIEW that you develop with. You have a copy of it on your LabVIEW installation CD and all of them can be downloaded from <A href="http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C130D?opendocument&node=132070_US">here</A>.

Hello,

The essiest way to do what you need is via the webserver, and for that you need LabVIEW RunTime Engine in the remote PC.

It is available on your LabVIEW CD in the components\lvruntimeeng folder.

Hope this helps,

Paulo

In tools -- optopns -- Web Server -- Configuration, Browser Access and Visible vi's, you have some tools available for that.
