xml-rpc with labview

[xgatc]

Hi,

I am trying to set-up a labview server which can use xml-rpc to communicate over http with other clients.  The server shall have several methods which clients can request, such as setting/reading motor position (home, absolute or relative move etc ...), reading temperature and return a reply to the client using xml-rpc.

The only link I found is
 
 http://lavag.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=66

I wonder if there is  any xml-rpc support from latest version of Labview? or newer example/document about how to use xml-rpc.

Regards

Hey Xiaofeng,

XML-RPC is entirely possible within LabVIEW however there is no native support for it.  If this is something you want to proceed with you'll have to create the VIs yourself.  The files in the link you found should be helpful, despite being old they should be fairly relvant. 

I've also found the following paper where someone has done this before.  There is no example code but it mentions the theory behind it, and might be of use to you.  It can be found on page number 79 (which is actualy page 94 of the PDF): http://conferences.jlab.org/PCaPAC/PCaPAC2006_proceedings.pdf

I hope this helps a little. 

Kind regards,
