Can exe files get data from a LV webserver session?

[TorbH]

Hi

We are planning to upgrade the LV where i work, and i will try to explain my initial plan.

We have a lot of data collected from various locations, temp, barometer, etc. The plan was to publish this in a LV webserver, avalible for all. (LabView Full)

None of this data is stored, just live data.

The question is, can that data be used live from a second computer running a LV.exe application?

For instance in a "import variable" kind of way?

The barometer for instance is used in various locations, instead of having several barometers showing the same values, the idea was to have just one and using the data in many different applications.

We are using LV v 13 Full for webserver possibilities

and LV v 13 Basic + exe file compiler for App building/development.

Hi TorbH,

It is possible to access the data in a LabVIEW Web Server from a second client simultaneously. You have to setup a different port number in the Web Server for each of the executables. The following KnowledgeBase might help you:

This sounds like a good application for network shared variables. One machine hosts the variables, and any number of clients can retrieve and update those values. As the variables change, each client receives new values.
