How to run a test from a remote computer if a execute file is coded in C ?

May I use LabView to perform this task by running a test through internet from a computer is far from lab location? What kind of programming language do you suggest to perform this kind of work: Server & Client? Thanks

My recommendation is LabVIEW from one end to the other--client and server. You'll spend less time developing the application, and maintaining it too.

If you're starting from scratch, LabView for the remote application makes it easy. You don't need to worry about programming the details of Server & Client. With LabView, you can easily view and control a remote LabView application through LabView locally or even through a Web browser. Look at the following help topics.

If your application is already complete and written in C, I'm not sure LabView will be much help. The simplest way to allow other PC's to run an existing application remotely is to share the directory. On the PC with the application:
1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. Browse to the directory containing the application's execu
table.
3. Right-click on the directory's folder icon, and select Properties, then Sharing.
4. Click on Share this folder.
5. Sharing is enabled for Everyone by default. Click on Permissions if you want to remove Everyone and add individual users.
If your application also uses other directories (for data, ini file, etc.), you may need to share those directories also.
On any PC where you want to run the remote application:
1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. Goto Tools >> Map Network Drive.
3. Select a drive letter, then enter the \\computer\share_name you setup on the remote PC.
4. As an option, select Reconnect at logon.
