The task would be trivial if you had the full version of LabVIEW but the base version doesn't permit remote control - only display of a LabVIEW VI through a browser. I have a book called "Internet Applications with LabVIEW" by Jeffrey Travis that was written before LabVIEW 6 was introduced. In there, it explains how to create an interactive web page. You would need the Component Works datasocket component and use Visual Basic to create an ActiveX control. You then have to create some HTML code, and finally write a LabVIEW datasocket reader/writer program that runs on the server. With the full version of LabVIEW, you simply write a VI to control the instrument and use the Web Publishing Tool with the embedded option and put it on the server.
