Remote panel problem

[Crusader]

Hi,

I'm using Labview 7.1 and I'm having trouble with the remote panel option.

The remote panel is working fine (I can see the server from any client using the labview runtime), but the problem is that what's display on the client side isn't exactly what the server is displaying.

On the server side, if a button is on, I can see it off on the client side. Also, the x scale isn't the same on the client side and on the server side... Plus, a chart that is hidden on the server side is shown on the client side.

I don't know if there's a patch somewhere for this or if I'm using the remote panel incorrectly, but I've try to find something on ni discussion board and hasn't come with an answer just yet.

Thanks for your help !

Is the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on the client machine also version 7.1? Can you post your VI, or at least a VI which reproduces this behavior?

hi there

i also had such problems with remote panels on cFP 2020 with LV 7.1 (both cFP and Host had the same versions). the problems involved the contents of tables and numerical indicators. at last i found that when i open the remote panel the contents shown on the host may differ from the actual values in the indicators on the server. we verified that by running the app on the target from LV (values correct) and by running the executable on the cFP with remote panel (values differ).

thus i add a "Update View" button on the front panel to re-write the current values to the indicators using local variables while the remote panel - connection was open. then i could actually see that the indicators on the remote panel were updated to the actual values. never found another solution for this behaviour ....

The client machine are all runing Labview Runtime V7.1.

I can't post the vi since it's a company products...

What was doing your update value button ? I don't know if this solution can apply to my problem, since even button are mix (activated on server computer and deactivated on client computer...).

hi there

the update button just took the data from the app and wrote it to the controls using local variables. but you are right, when the remote panel is deactivated on the client this won't work. you can poll the applications property "connections to client" on the server to trigger a update of the screen when ever a new client connects to the remote panel.
