more than 1 user access control of vi via web browser

[222]

Hi all,

Currently I've a vi that need to share it with other PCs using web browser (eg: IE) I've tried using Web Publishing Tools and I noticed that only 1 pc at a time can grant access control of the vi. May I know is there any methods or other 3rd party software that could possibly able to give multiple PCs to control one vi simultaneously over the net using web browser? THANKS!!!...

I don't think this is possible with the current remote front panel implementation.

Some workarounds:

• Creating several VIs and connecting each client to a different VI. You can get the image of the VI using the VI class method Get Panel Image and you can simulate mouse clicks using OS API calls.
• Using software like VNC which would give you access to the entire computer.
• Looking into stuff like LabVNC or AppletVIEW. It might be able to do this.

Hi tst

I heard that using LabView Internet Toolkit with CGI scripting commands could make this works. It also uses VI templates.. I do not know how true it is.. But does anyone know how to use it?

Hello,

I’m not so sure that using VNC or remote desktop to have multiple users control LabVIEW is really in-line with our license policy.  I suppose if you built your program into an executable and had the VNC users access the exe program they wouldn't really be using the development environment so I suppose this would be ok…

Hopefully this will help out for now!  Let us know if you have questions-
