Remote Panel Monitoring of RT Application Builder

[rattofest]

Hi,

I am trying to run a RT LabVIEW Application, built with Application Builder and saved onto my FieldPoint module, but I want to see if it is actually running on boot-up. The top-level VI is supposed to communicate with another program over the network, and I was wondering if I could use Remote Front Panels to monitor this communication.

Note: I am not just running a VI on the RT target. I used the Application Builder to create a standalone program, and I want to make sure it is working and communicating correctly.

Thanks!

Hi Rattofest,

I believe you mean your top level VI consists of a bunch of sub VI that it calls when the program is run, right? If you want to test out your top level VI, you can have your sub VI to send some feedback to your main VI front panel (which could be a boolean or a number), so that you can see if it is working. You can easily test out your standalone program on a PC before you embed it to the controller. If it works on the PC, it should work the same on the controller. After you embed the program to your controller, you can then use the remote front panel to access to the front panel of the program that is running on the controller. You can also have the controller to light up different LED on the module at different stage in order to check out if the program is actually working.

rattofest hello.

What version of LabVIEW are you using? If you are using LabVIEW 8.0, check out this link. It will be helpful.

Can a LabVIEW 8.0 Executable or Installer Use Remote Panels?

 Take care and keep us posted on how things go.
