how to exchange data between two labview programs running on independent machines?

[NELCO]

I had one labview program running on CVS embedded controller.Now, i want to access the local variables/data from this labview program in to the other labview program running on PC. This PC program reads the data from Controller over ethernet and logs into database(as i cant do the logging in the controller, i am using seperate program on PC).Please suggest me how to access that program data over ethernet.
Thank You

One of the easiest ways would be to use the VI server. There are many examples on how to do this that come with labview.(7.0) Do a search on server and you will find many ways.

Hello NELCO,

One very simple solution for transferring data between two LabVIEW programs running on different computers is to use DataSocket. Take a look at the DS Reader.vi and DS Writer.vi which are two examples that are shipped with LabVIEW. You can find these VIs by going to the NI Example Finder and typing datasocket in the search tab.
