The easiest way of doing this is using "web publishing tool". Check the user manual for more detail. Also you can use VI server, datasocket to accomplish this. You can find several example regarding VI server and datasocket that ship with labview. Good Luck.

Hello Jackolim,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

What do you want your remote panel to do? There are basically two different methods. In one you just monitor your front panel over the internet, like screen shots. The other method allows you to actually adjust the controls remotely.

If you need the first method then you just need to periodically upload the front panel image to your website. You could then have your site periodically refresh itself.

The second method however is not do-able, unless you have LabVIEW on the server. When you are hosting a VI remote panel, the LabVIEW web server is actually used. So the machine running LabVIEW hosts the website on itself, and has direct access to the VI that you are running. There is not a w
ay I know of to somehow route all the information through another web site. You will just need to host the VI on the computer running the VI.

I hope this helps.

accessible to other users so i can upload my VI. Thank you.
