LabVIEW from one PC to control LabVIEW in another PC

[sychong]

My system specifications:

1. PC1 with Window XP - act as a controller and DAQ parameters setting (like time/div, voltage/div)

2. PC2 with Window 7 - act as a DAQ module with NI 5105 digitizer.

3. LabVIEW 8.6 for both PCs.

My questions:

Is it possible for me to send the setting information from PC1 to PC2 so that DAQ module can peformance according to the reference setting from PC1?

Please advise me and thanks in advance.

run two programs

one master

one slave

use tcp/ip as communication

Thanks for the prompt reply 

For that, I should use (a) crossover LAN cable, or (b) regular LAN cable with a network switch/hub, right?

Is there any information/website links that can give me a good start?

Thanks.

right or use an autoadapt interface card with any cable.

I'll try to find a good example, but in LabVIEW we can do tcp/ip via visa or via the built in vi's.

I don't know yet what I prefer.

See you on monday, nice weekend
