Dialog Box Example with FGVs Using LabVIEW

[Chris_Garratt_NIUK]

Overview
This project was created to show how to use JSON to transfer a cluster of a numeric and a string from a client to a server on either a PC or on an RT target.

Description
The project is just a demonstration on how to use the new web services in LabVIEW 2013.  It utilizes a cluster to ensure the proper type of data is transferred in each application instance.  It should be noted that the VIs on the host and target are the same, so only use 1 at a time to ensure proper functionality. 

 
Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Start your web service (right click the web service and select "Start")
2. Check the URL for the server web method (Host Service > Web Resources > Right click on "Server-grabdata.vi" select "Show Method URL"
3. Enter this URL into the Client.vi "URL" string control.  REMOVE THE {value} SECTION, this is added in the code as a cluster.
4. Open both the Client and Server VI.  Run the Client VI with your selected information for the cluster and watch the server respond by unbundling the cluster.
