Hi Vijeta,

What software version are you using and what software is installed on the second machine? Are you using shared variables? There's a tutorial on Datasocket which explains the technology.

If you provide more information about your requirements I can provide you with information that's more specific to your application.

Hi Andheri,

You can use DataSocket to communicate between the two computers without the OPC server.  Please take a look at DS Read.vi and DS Write.vi in the Example Finder.

Hi Andheri,

1) Please open LabVIEW and go to Tools >> Example Finder.

2) Click on the Search tab and type in DataSocket.

3) Please open DS Reader.vi and DS Writer.vi.

4) Run both of the VIs and you will see that information is transferred between the two VIs.

5) You can then change the target and source controls so that you communicate between two computers.
