I have LabWindowsCVI / 8.5, I can not find "cvinet.
I must be able to control a CVI application that runs on another PC.
There is a possibility as in LabView?
Thanks

There are several ways to do a remote controlled application and it depends on how complicated you want to get and what your constraints and objectives are. If it's just a simple custom remote interface to you won application, look under the CVI installation folder for samples, under sample find tcp, there's simple samples of a client and server application that works pretty well.

Hi Giuseppe,

In CVI there's nothing like the Remote Front Panel function that we got in LabVIEW.

If you're looking for a way to interact with your application remotely, you should consider TCP/IP communication between the two computers as Jattie suggested.

Take a look at the examples shipped with CVI. You can finder the client and server examples under the CVI Example Finder going to: Communicating with External Applications -> General -> and you will find client.cws and server.cws.

Once you know how to establish a connection between the two applications, you have to use a protocol to allow the messages exchange.

Take a look at the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call

and its version which makes use of XML http://www.xmlrpc.com/

Good luck and good work

Best Regards

With LabWindows / CVI can create an object or application, consisting of UIR and code and place it in an html page.

If yes, what tools do I need?

Thanks
