Front panel Security and TPC-2006

[Kallis]

Is it possible to include Front panel security for controls in VIs running in TPC-2006. While editing, I am able to set the access rights for front panel elements through Properties>>Security, but while running I can't figure out how to login or logout. If I use NISecurity Methods in my VI it fails to build and pops up an error 'NISecurity_Login is a missing VI or C file'.

I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1, LV DSC 8.2.1 and LV Touch panel Module 8.2.1.

Thanks

Hi Kal,

Did you set up a new host/user using the Domain Account Manager. The following document talks about how to do it. Could you also please post the error number generated for 'NISecurity_Login is a missing VI or C file' error. Another option is to try and use a login interface. Hope this helps.

Nitin,

How can I access domain account manager in TPC-2006. My aim is to use the NISecurity option in TPC like we use it in LabVIEW for Windows. The second link that you send is definetly one option, but then i have to programatically decide user access rights and enable Front panel controls accordingly. What I would like to know is whether TPC supports the built-in Front panel security for Controls and Indicators? From whatever I have seen till now, I guess it don't.

Thanks

HI Kal,

I tried out some of the NISecurity options and found out that it is not supported on a TPC. You cannot use the inbuilt security methods for the Controls/Indicators on a TPC (or any other touch panel). In light of this, I guess the best option for now would be the second one (programatically setting it). Hope this helps.
