In the process of trouble shooting my remote panel application, I have noticed that the monitor panels seem to use way more resources than the controlled VI's. The monitor panels don't show up in my Remote Panel Connection Manager, so I can't give exact bandwidth, but I can describe the behavior.
I can CONTROL 5 panels on a remote machine (w/ 5 seats on my Professional Development System) that update at least every second with display size 1024 x 748 pixels including many property nodes so the bandwidth for each controlled VI is 7.9 Kb/sec. This works just fine with no problems. But I can not MONITOR even 3 monitor panels that update once every 5 seconds with no data and no property nodes (just one While Loop w/ a 100 msec timer in it) with display size of 200 x 200 pixels. The screen goes blank and it even seems to temporarily freeze the VI on the host machine. (I saw the freezing on elapsed timers on other tests.)
The result is the same whether the host firewall is on or off. The remote machine is on a local intranet.
I would appreciate any insight to what's going on.
