Data passing from Webvi to local PC spreadsheet

[Shrenik86]

I am trying to build webvi which will be accessed from remote PC through web browser. from there some data needs to be feed and those data i want to save in spread sheet which is located in local server PC where server is running. i am using labview NXG web application to do that but I do not know how to interconnect .GVI and .GVIWEB. if i manually use .GVI as subVI in GVIWEB then it continuously giving dependency error. can anyone help me on this how can I do that solution!

Hi Shrenik86,

One option to consider is creating a LabVIEW Web Service on the server PC that exposes HTTP methods the WebVI can call. The HTTP methods can open the spreadsheet on the server and read or change the contents. The WebVI can call the HTTP methods to send data to the server or show results on the WebVI panel.

An example of an approach using LabVIEW Web Services with WebVIs can be seen in the Call LabVIEW Web Service example.

As you can see, there are only two communication ways for server and client in webvi, http and websockets
