LabView via Internet

[Cezary Anisko]

Hello,

I have application in LabView.

I want that this application can uses many people in the same time, but this
application must be run only on one computer...

How can I do it?

I know that is maybe for it LabView Player, but I want do it without LabView
Player.

How can I do it?

How can I do that, many people in this same time can use one application on
my computer via Internet?

I also want that this problem will solve free of cost.

Thx

You can use what is called remote front panels. They are a build in LV feature. I know that they are available in the full and professional developement system versions not sure about the base version. You can find these under "Operate">>Connect to Remote Panel. This will allow you to specify the ip address, port, and vi name. On the Local machine (vi that you want to view) you will also need to enable the web server under tools>>options>>Web Server:Configuration and the vi must be open. The only drawback with this is that there is a limit on how many users can view the application. There is a license fee for more than 5 at a time. You can purchase these from NI. Also only one viewer can have control of the vi at a time. You can control the vi by connecting
to it and right clicking anywhere in the window and request control. This will allow you to manipulate the vi just like it was on your machine. Hope this helps. Also you can look in the LV help for Remote front panels.

Like the other post says, remote panels are the easiest thing to do but the licenses have a price. It's rather small but if you really want free, then you're going to have expend more effort. If you want, you could create ActiveX controls or use Java to communicate with a LabVIEW application. Your LabVIEW app would be designed to receive information from the ActiveX/Java and then post the front panel as html or just pass updated values to ActiveX controls or to a Java app. If you can spend any money at all, I hightly recomend the book "Internet Applications in LabVIEW" by Jeffrey Travis. It was written before LabVIEW had the remote panel capability and comes with a lot of examples. His web site is here and you
can also order the book from Amazon.com.

I find in my LabView, that I can operate by Web Browser my VI application,
but only ONE client in this time can view/operate this application. I is not
good for me:(
For next clients I have to pay for a licenses (5, 10, and more clients...)

Issue is in two "clients": one by the web browser by Internet, and another
one by LabView in local computer. But it still too small for me...

So anyway, I thanks for all responses 🙂
