acquire remote signal

[Roddy]

Hello everyone,

Maybe somebody know how to do this, or can redirectme to a different post.

I have a cDAQ1972 connected to a computer, both,  located 1/8 of a mile away and 3 floors up from my desk-computer. While walking time to time to reprogram is great for my health, it is also a pain.

Is there a way to acquire the signals remotely? (All the computer are in a network)

Thanks

One more thing;

 

I would like to have the raw data directly sent from the cDAQ to the network and then to my computer.

So far I only found info on creating shared variables and data soket, but these, they need a VI that reads and the sends.

Hi Roddy-

     There is no way to control the CompactDAQ chassis reliably and remotely over a network.  People have been known to use USB hubs, but this setup is not supported or recommended by National Instruments.  That being said, here are a couple of suggestions:

1 - Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection?  This won't stream raw data to your desk PC, but it will allow you to program on your test machine from your desk machine (remotely).

2 - Have you looked into getting a compactRIO?  You can actually load programs on the cRIO and it can be configured to send data over a network.

     I hope this information is helpful.  Best of luck with your application!
