Hi Sowmya,

Here is a Developer Zone article about creating executables in LabVIEW. Could you explain a little bit more about "publishing on to the web", so that we can help you with this?

Hi Amanda,

"Publishing data on to the web" -  I have to continuously acquire data and log it and need to update and display the acquired data and the graphs on to the web every 5 minutes. The user on the web page must be able to view the main page where data is being acquired. But the actual application is running on a different PC.

I have tried updating vi's onto the web and they work fine, but once stopped they come back to the default vi appearence(i.e the run button is getting displayed). I want to close the web page as soon as the vi stops. What should I do ? Can the application exe be updated onto the web instead of the vi itself. If yes how can it be done?? Please help me out with this...

Regards,

Sowmya

Sowmya,

Whatever you are setting in the window appearance content (VI-properties) the result is always the same when the VI switches from run mode back in edit mode.
The entire toolbar is visible and unfortunately the VI stays in the memory of the server machine and in this case the web server updates running on and on and on.

You have mainly two options to fix this issue:
a) Add the function "Quit LabVIEW" at the end of your application (independent from the environment (exe or development)
b) Add an invoke node at the end of your application, which is referenced to ->this VI with the methode FrontPanel->Close.

Thanks,
