labview different machines

[densmore]

Hi,
If I have a machine(1) with labview and DAQ cards in it. Is it possible to run labview on a different machine(2) over a network and use the DAQ cards in machine(1) to collect data.

And second question.

Can you use one Daq card and run two different Vi's and collect data from different ch. at the same time?
Thanks

Look at using the VI server. Write a VI that performs the task, and set
the VI server up to allow the connection and to allow the VI to execute.
Now the remote computer can open a connection to the computer, open a
VI reference, and use the Call VI by Reference node to make the measurement.

For your second question; The DAQ driver is single threaded. There are many calls to the DLL that are blocking calls. Because of this, it is not possible to aquire data from two different VI's.
