Re : How to read shared variable using web service

[VdG]

Hi,

we have a sbRIO project networked with non-NI application on a windows7 platform. We need to read/write some variables on the sbRIO from the host. If i have understood the paper https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/reading-and-writing-shared-variables-with-the-vari... , this seems to be done with web services. But i can't find any howto or even just a syntax description on this subject...Any help ?

Regards,

Vincent

Hi Vincent,

thank you for using NI discussion forums.

You can find general information on Web Service here:

thanks Audrey for the links, but i still wonder if i have to create my own web service to access the variables, or if there's some built-in functions that are already doing the job in the RIO server. That's what i guess from the paper above...
