Adding nodes to a gateway outside of NI-MAX

[Garrett Cook]

I am currently invovled in a project that anticipates using several gateways and nodes for monitoring temperature, equipment status, etc.  The system will be set up by people experienced in LabVIEW but the end users are not.  Is there a way to program LabVIEW software or use another means other than NI-MAX by which end users can add a node on their own through the interface developed for them?

Thanks!

Hey Garrett,

We don't have a public API at the moment but there is a way.  However, in order to do it, you need to have the NI 9792 RT Gateway.  With NI-WSN 1.2 and LV 2010, we now have web services running on the gateway that you can programmatically interface with.  I'm in the process of whipping up an example project that shows how this could be done.  

Do you have LV 2010 and a NI 9792?

Only a 9791 and I think LV 2009 or earlier.

Hey Garrett,

Without the 9792 or LV 2010, there isn't a programmatic way to get at it.

I did go ahead and attach a project I put together showing how to do this in 2010 with NI-WSN 1.2 and a 9792.
