I saw a demo of this at a NI Technical Symposium.

Hello RyanSolar.

Yes this is possible with our Data Dashboard, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. We have just released a new version of this app for Apple iPad (version 2). This version allows us to use both indicators and controls on the iPad to control the application running on the computer.

Note that version 1 does not include controls, but only indicators. This version is currently available for iPhone, Android and Windows 8.

See this toturial for more information:

Dear Sir, What if I am using an ARM9 processor and the Labview for embedded module software. Can I still use datadashboard to do an android application to control the labview program on the ARM9?

Many thanks.

Hello AmirKotb,

An ARM target and the data dashboard can communicate with any target capable of hosting shared variables.  Unfortunately, niether of them are capable of hosting shared variables themselves.  They can read from and write to shared variables, but they can't host them.

A workaround would be to host the the shared variable on an intermediary computer, possibly a PC or a Real-Time target.  You could then point the ARM target and Data Dashboard to the computer hosting the shared variable.
