Connect to Remote Panel

Hi,
 
Let me explain what I want to do. I have a LabVIEW App (In source code) running on an offsite computer and I want to access it remotely by another computer in my office. I know that I can use �Connect to Remote Panel�. But my app is already started and it display 3 front panels. I got only the one I call. To resolve that I need to use another �Connect to Remote Panel� but that, use another licence of the web server and I have only one for the moment. If the app is not already started, and I start it remotely, I will get 3 front panels displayed on my office computer.
 
Is it possible to use �Connect to Remote Panel� to connect a multi Front panel application already started by using only one licence of the LV web server.
 
Is it pos
sible to use �Connect to Remote Panel� programmatically without using the menu in LabVIEW and without a web page?
 
If you have another solution or a simple way to does that with a Web page please ask me?
 
The client doesn�t want to use Netmeeting, VNC or PC anywhere to do that.
 
I�m currently using LabVIEW 6.1 on W2K
 
Thanks

I believe that the license allows multiple panels from a single
computer. You should be able to read the details on the NI web site or
in the license file that came with LV.

You can definitely make a client panel that shows anything you want from
the remote computer. The built-in remote panel is typically launched
from the menu or the web page at the client's request. You can do this
using the VI Server. Drop an invoke node and select the Remote Panel
Ope
n Connection to Server. You can also make web pages and use LV to
programmatically open the web page.

Thanks Greg,

This invoke node is available only on LabVIEW 7.X

My client doesn�t want to upgrade to 7. I have to live with 6.1 for the moment.

Hi Dany,

I have attached an example program that includes a set of VIs that will give you the ability to programmatically control remote front panels.

Hope this helps!

Hi Kileen,

 

You sent this message 6 years ago, and maybe you were not here any more.

But if you can receive this message ans still keep the program, could you  please give me the password of the example program?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Rich

 

Looking at the date of Kileen's last activity you might not get a response, but you should be able to work it out from the llb as all of the code is there in the llb. - alternatively try methods which are more modern that for LV6!
