Hi guys, I could use some opinion here.
Let say if I have a main system containing 2 subsystems in it. each subsystem has its own PC which link to individual subsystem hardware which are all in serial. there is also a main PC where the program supposed to control and view the whole system. There is no limitation of control for the main program but for subsystem program, there are few controls that i should hide.
Right now what I'm doing is, I develop a main program where i can access to all serial hardwares using visa server. Then i use some global variables to transfer real-time data from MAIN program to the other sub-program. All together will be 3 VIs. The main program has all the settings for serial, database and control where sub1 and sub2 program only has certain control parameters to be processed at MAIN program.
The thing is, i can only create one exe file for all these 3 VIs because i'm using global variable. The main PC should only show the MAIN program and so does for each subsystem which should show each individual subsytem. So the trick will be, the main PC will be running those 3 programs but i need to hide the other 2 sub-programs. The subsys PC will access to the hidden program using remote panel connection.
Questions:
1. How can i hide the other sub-program? even if i set the vi to be 100% transparent, it's still showing the window at the taskbar. Can the sub-PC access to the hidden program?
2. How should i use remote panel connection so that the subsystem PC can only remote to one of the program that i hide?
3. Is there any better way to do this?
Thanks for the help
