Remote panels- server running application in log-off locked mode

[AnalogKid2DigitalMan]

I have not used remote panels before and was pondering if they would work if the server (Win Xp) running the application goes into workstation locked mode.

Company IT policy dictates that all PC's must go into locked screensaver mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate, the user must log back in. Of course any applications continue to execute normally while in locked mode.

Would another user at another PC be able to view/control the front panel of a LabVIEW exe remotely while the server running the application is in locked mode?

Thanks

The remote panel should continue to run while in locked mode.  If another user wanted to open the remote panel and view it, that should be ok too.  Remember that there are limits to the number of users that can be viewing a remote panel.  The limit depends on how many licenses you have.  info here

Because only one user can take control of the vi.  If the second user wanted to take control (and the first user had control) then the second user would not be able to take control.  The solution to this is to set time limits on how long a user can have control.  This is a configuration setting.

Thanks for the input, I'll proceed with a little testing then. Yes, I realize there is a limit of 5 for my liscence, this application would be 2 at most- a primary user and an observer.

Thanks Again!
