Using a PDA to store results data from Compact FP?

[B_Myers]

Is it possible to use a PDA as a front end display for a Labview RT application running on a Compact FP system? I also want to write the results data from the Compact FP app to the PDA RAM Drive.

I am just quoting this system but any details as to whats required to do this would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes it is possible. Compact FieldPoint RT controllers have ethernet and serial ports that could be used to communicate with PDA's. Communication through TCP or serial can be done in LabVIEW RT just as it is done in regular LabVIEW. National Instruments currently does not have any tools for PDA's specifically for this, so you would have to take care of the PDA programming and communication yourself. But to the Compact FieldPoint it would just be talking to a serial or ethernet device.
