Error 56 Open Application Reference

[Farracillo]

Hi Everybody,

Is it possible to open an application reference to an executable in another computer? I have an executable running in windows vista and I am trying to open an application reference from another computer in the network but no matter what timeout I set, I always get error 56 “the network operation exceeded the user-defined or system limited time. I have TCP/IP enabled in the VI server configuration and the network is fine because if I request a remote panel control, I get in my client computer, the VI running in the server computer.

Actually, my goal is to request remote panel control programmatically. Is it  possible with LabVIEW 8.5?

Thanks a lot

Did you enable VI Server for the application? This is done in the application ini file, it should contain lines like:

server.tcp.enabled=True
server.tcp.access="+*"
server.tcp.port=3364
server.tcp.acl="290000000A000000010000001D00000003000000010000002A10000000030000000000010000000000"

Adjust the port according to your needs. ACL is the access control list, the value above will allow access from any machine. To restrict access, set up the access list in LabVIEW and copy the acl value from LabVIEW.ini to the application ini file.

Hope this helps

Hi Dan

Thanks a lot for helping. I did what you told me, and is not working either. I gotta leave work now. I will be back on friday to keep trying.

Thanks again.

Hi Claire,

I already saw the Open Connection to Server Method but it's only available with LabVIEW full and I have the base package installed.

This is what I want to do

 

1-     I have one executable (“Executable 1”) running in the host computer.

In my laptop (is the only computer with labVIEW installed) if I go to Operate/Connect to Remote Panel, I gain control of Executable 1 without problems.

2-     I want to create another Executable (“Executable 2”), that once installed in any computer in the network, can display and gain control of the front panel of Executable 1.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Eddy

Hi Eddy,

Please see the following link. Although you can use any LabVIEW development system to build VIs that clients can view remotely, you must have the Full or Professional Development Systems on the server to control your VI remotely.
