Multiple Web Server Questions

[tidstein]

LabVIEW v7.1 Full Development Suite (DSC)
Windows 2000

I have a few questions regarding the web server.

1) When I access a vi from a remote computer I notice that particular vi opens on the server machine.  When the vi is closed at the remote PC the vi remains open on the server PC.  Is there a way to eliminate this?

2) How can I set up password access to each vi when trying to open that vi remotely?

3) How can I eliminate the run and stop buttons on the top of each vi when that vi is opened remotely?  I want to give control to each vi but I do not want to give control of those buttons.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

I think i can give you an idea:

1: When you close a VI from a remote PC the Server remains open some times because it is running a WEB server so i think i canot stop runing the VI because if it do that it would stop the server. It happens to me too.

2: For accesing with a password, the simples way to do that is to create a VI that ask for user login, and only when it is granted it can continue with the program, or you could use a promt user dialog in express function, inputs i think. The question is ¿How do you embebed multiple Vi in one Web server so you can display several pages? I am working on it too.

3: You can change the look of a VI adjusting the VI property option, right clik the Icon on the top right of the window and click VI PROPERTY. Then on category go to windows aperrance and change it to a dialog.

Hope it helps

OPS!

jajaj. I didnt notice the date of the post....

So, because i already caught your attention, I wanted to ask : How do i configure a Labview web server to show different VI's? because i created a main .vi and a login.vi, but in remote panel mode, i only  can see the main.vi when i browse it.

Also, i have an evaluation version of labview, and we dont have a lot of budget in the company to buy many licences, so i want to install a Server machine in my company and run VI's and also have my personal computer for develping VI's and debbuging. It is possible to buy one licence and use them in both computers???.

Thank you.

For steps on how to configure the LabVIEW web server to show different VIs, please see this article from the LabVIEW help. 

To answer your question about licensing, I think that you would be interested in the Named-User license.  This will allow you to install software on three business computers at any given time.   It will also allow you to install the software on one home computer.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have anymore questions.  Thanks!
