compactrio - user interaction from a laptop

[athes]

I cant seem to find a basic example of what i would like to do

I have been using a producer comsumer loop on a DAQmx system and it worked perfectly - my problem is when i moved my code onto a cRIO 9074 I seem to get locked out Im thinking there is an issue in handling the event structure

are there are examples/tutuorials of how to build a vi on the RIO using a state machine when a user clicks a button that particular state is initated on the rio

Im connecting via a laptop over the network and would like to use the laptop for front end interaction with the user

tks

Event structures do not respond to front-panel interaction on real-time targets such as the cRIO, because those systems do not have user-accessible front panels.  LabVIEW allows limited front panel use for debugging and testing, but for a full user interface you'll need to write a separate LabVIEW program that communicates with the cRIO using TCP, shared variables, or another communications method of your choice.

Hey Athes,

I think that this link should provide you with all you need to help you get started:
