Can I use HyperTrendCtl in VB for accessing Citadel via the Internet ?

[solar56]

I want to use DataSocket and Visual Basic to build a WebPage .
Can I use the HyperTrendCtl to access Historical Data in a Citadel Database ?

I am not quite sure I understand your question, so please feel free to clarify, but you can put the NI HyperTrend on a Web Page, just like any other ActiveX control.

I think your question may be whether the NI HyperTrend can access data over the internet. When you add traces to the HyperTrend, you must specify the Machine Name, Database Path, and URL to the trace, e.g. 'mymachine', 'c:\temp\datapath', '\\mymachine\process1\trace1'. This will work to read data from a remote computer on an intranet, which may be what you're looking for. In this case, the client computer would have to have the HyperTrend installed as well.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your answer. I am not sure I understand.
What I want is:
Read historical data from a Citadel Database via the www from anywhere in the world with a browser.
I thought, I could do it with a Measurement Studio HyperTrendCtl in VB.
Is there any example how to do this, like the Appl.Note 127 "Building an Interactive We Page with DataSocket".
Thank you
