How to control a instrument remotely?

[happybird]

Hi

I would like to create labview 8.2.1 program to control a HP 6624 A power supply remotely through internet, any one can let me know the clues to do that? Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Take a look at NI's instrument driver network at

http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/

I believe you will kind some drivers there for Labview for that particular HP instrument that will help get you started.

First you will need something like the NI GPIB-ENET 100 to attach the 6624 physically to the local network. Then you have to configure the local network (routers,firewall)  to provide access to the  GPIB-ENET 100 over the internet. Don't forget thinking about security when doing that. When is working you should be able to use the instrument drivers to control the device with labview code.

Sorry Mike,

I missed "remotely through the internet" part of your post when I answered your post originally. So I would like to ammend my response by asking if you have tried using labview's web server to control your application (tools>>options>>web server)?

cheers,
