Using datasocket or remote panel?

[happyxh0518]

Hi,Friends,
I am developing a fault inspection system in a production line. The manager and other leaders want to watch the inspection process remotely (at their office)when my system is running in test room. I have tried remote panel so that they can monitor the process with IE Browser, but the refresh and data transfering in remote site are very slow. I noticed someone could use DataSocket the implement this function. But I have no idea about the difference of DataSocket and remote panel. Are there anyone who has this kind of experience tell me some skills to improve the performance of remote monitoring?

Other questions are:
1. In order to carry out remote display, which one is better, DataSocket or remote panel?
2. What the
purpose of remote panel and DataSocket in LabView? What are the difference and connection between them?

Any suggestions are warmly appreciated.

The benefit of remote front panels is that a user can view the front panel of your application with only a runtime engine. When using datasockets you will need the full development environment whether it is LV or another programming language like VB. Datasockets are a mechanism to transfer data across a network but still the underlying protocol is TCP/IP. Data sockets will require you to use the datasocket server and will require code to utilize them. In other words you will still have to write a vi to display your data. Where as in remote front panels you can utilize the front panel on the source machine. Because of the TCP/IP protocol it is more of a network speed issue in your case. You still are restricted to the capabilites of your network. Once sug
gestion is to isolate your network from your corporate network if that is the case. This will reduce traffic on your network and allow your data to be transferred at the highest speed possible. Hope this helps.

Hi,

    You will have to install internet connectivity toolset on your PC.In this you will get inbuilt vis for FTP. By making the computer which is publishing on web as FTP server and other as client,you should be able to get data from server.
