How do you display real time data on a website/online

Suppose you have a given sensor that outputs data in voltage. How would you be able to display it in real time in a format that isn't labview, say locally on excel and globally via website?

 

My initial thought process:

sensor -> DAQ -> Labview -> excel/text/other format -> Visual Studio -> html -> website.

 

Is it possible to store data real time and still access it (i.e. see in real time values being appended to your data file)?

Hi compstopmer,

 

There is another very simple and more effective way of doing it. Istead of passing your data into an excel sheet, you can pass it to an SQL Database Table and you can access this SQL Database table from your website in real time. So whenever the Database table gets updated from LabVIEW, the values are passed to the website as well. You can use the free LabSQL toolkit for doing this.

 

Regarding the website, you can create a simple website using VISUAL Web Developer and use a GridView in it and link it with the SQL Database Table, and there you go...!!! 

 

Isn't this simple?;)

The easiest way might be using our Web UI Builder. You could also try remote front panels, if the computer you want to display data on has the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. Hope that helps!
