Remote Control of measurment PC

[Joachim vom Dorp]

Hi,

I would like to watch and control my measurment PC from my office desk. What
do you think is the best / easiest sollution ? Both PC´s are connected to
the LAN.
And I would like to do this with several existing programms. So it should be
easy to implement to existing vi´s.
Thanx

Joachim

Hi,

Are all programs written in LabVIEW? Than you can use LabVIEW controlling panels via the web server.

If not you could used Remote Administrator
Checkout: http://www.radmin.com

Or if you are using windows XP the feature is already there is your administrator has not blocked it.
Goto: Start - Accessories - Communication - Remote Desktop Connection.
Checkout: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/remotedesktop/

Good luck,

Wimke

If using LV6.1 or later, you can use the remote panels feature. You
should go to the documentation for the details, but generally, you will
want to decide whether you view the panels in another LV or in a web
browser. If using a web browser, on your lab machine Choose Tools>>Web
Publishing or similar and generate web pages for the VIs you want
published. Choose Remote Panels rather than pushed images. On your
office machine, browse to the web pages. Right click
on the image to
take control. If using a LV from your office, go to Operate and open a
remote panel directly.

This does require that TCP access to the VI Server be enabled.

Or you can use a remote desktop as the other post mentioned.
