How can VIs be started on other computers by using a TCP/IP Network?

[M. Raquet]

Hi
I am trying to use something like a Remote Control for VIs.
I know that its possible to use the Frontpanel of a VI that is already running on a Computer in the Network.
But if there is no VI running:
Is it possible to start and run VIs on a Computer via TCP/IP Networking?

Thanks a lot

Yes, you can do that with VI server.
1) On remote computer run LabVIEW or LabVIEW Run-Time.
2) Configure TCP/IP Access ( Go to options/TCP/IP Access and add names of computers that can access to this computer).
3) Open LabVIEW application on remote computer refnum( Application Contrlol/Open Application Reference) where machine name is name of remote computer.
4) Open VI refnum (Application Contrlol/Open VI Reference), where path is path of VI on remote computer.
5) Use method "Run VI".

Good luck, Nadav.
