How do you display a graph on another machine using vi server?

I have to machines one server and one client. So far I have set things up so that the client can read and control all the controls on the server machine "test.vi". Everything there is working fine. However, when I use the Vi method "get all control values" only the controls on that test.vi are listed and not the graph or any other indicators. I would like to be able to push a button on the client machine to display the data being displayed on the server machine. Is this possible? If so how? There doesn't appear to be any vi methods titled "get all indicator values".

I have included vis to help show my problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Look again at the Get All Control Values method. Notice the True you have wired to the controls parameter? The default is false and returns values for all indicators.

Greg,

At least since LabVIEW 6.0, the method "Get all Control Values" has a second property called 'Controls' that takes a boolean input. If left unwired or set to true, you get the Contol values. If you set it to False, you get all the indicator values.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

My fingers got a head of my brain again.

Left unwired defaults to False, so you'll get the Indicators.
