How to communicate between two LabViews on different PCs?

[iamanhad]

We have a project here that entails LabView communication between two standard DELL laptops. The server is mounted on a plane and the remote client on the ground. We want the dynamic Front Panel to show up on the remote laptop too (dynamically).  Any ideas??
I know about the TCP palette on the VI....can I learn to use it somewhere?

You can find some TCP examples by searching the example finder (Help>>Find Example). For some more complex examples you can search this site (specifically "message protocol").

However, if you just want to connect to the front panel you can use the web publishing tool (Tools menu) and connect to it from the other side using the Operate menu or one of the Application class methods. You can even do it without having LV on the computer, but just the run-time engine. Just read the help on the option.

To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).
