Network Stream

[gennaro95]

I'm trying to use the network stream to display indicators present on two other LabView .exe files from a single .exe (Main) created in LabView.

The two .exe files are software for controlling three different climate chambers and are installed on a PC connected to the company network.

I set up the network stream with unique names for both the writers and the readers, which connect to the individual writers.

My problem is that if I open just one of the three .exe files and the Main file, I can read the indicators of the Main file without any problems, but when I open the second .exe file, I can't read its indicators.

The error is -314004:

LabVIEW: (Hex 0xFFFB356C) LabVIEW could not create the endpoint within the timeout period. Ensure that you specify the URL of a remote endpoint with the reader url terminal of the Create Network Stream Writer Endpoint function or the writer url terminal of the Create Network Stream Reader Endpoint function.

Please, can someone help me understand?

I leave in attached 2 writer and the listener.

Hello, Gennaro.

     In 2012, just after I discovered (and "figured out") Network Streams, I answered a similar request in the Forums discussing how to "name" the Streams -- you can find my answer here .

     I hope it answers (some of) your questions.  Incidentally, you shouldn't "hide" Front Panel controls several screen heights above your Block Diagram -- it makes printing the Front Panel very difficult (the entire Front Panel needs to fit on a single Screen, so if it is 8 screens "tall", the Front Panel will be "squished" into the bottom inch or so of the page.
