Since LabView does not have cross-platform openoffice support, I was looking at ways of generating reports from a LabView session (2010) running on a mac. The report generation VI contains a somewhat suggestive machine name input. Can one connect to a remote machine (which is windows XP and has microsoft word / excel installed) to generate reports from a mac running LabView ?
With some work I think is is do-able.
If the PC had an exe deployed and running that was served via VI Server the report could be run and generated on the PC when invoked from the Mac.
So in theory yes!
Edit:
VI server is not required if the exe on the PC listens at a TCP/IP port and supports a protocol to accept the report "job".
I'll watch to see (and in hopes of) a better solution form others.
