remote control

[Skob]

Hi!

I would like to control a vi from a client-pc, connected by LAN in a
company with firewall and proxy server.

Before, I read a few postings in this group about remote control. But
there are a lot of questions for me.
I got the problem, how to show and control a vi on a client pc. What
kind of server should be taken? vi or web server? Do i have to install
tools like internet tool kit, or something like this?

I hope to get help from one of you...

It all depends on what your needs are.

To remotely access / controll a VI from outside your company, you need port forward, so the server is visible on the internet. Normally your IT needs to be involved.

If you want to publish / control the vi through webpage, then the labview webserver must be running, you might need the internet toolkit as well.

If you want to control the remote computer in addition to controlling the VI, you can try some remote control software, such as UltraVNC (free but less secure) or Radmin (secure but not accessible through browser).

You might also try out the remote panel in Labview, which also allows your to control a remote vi.

Hope this helps.

hi jeremy

Refer to the remote front panel tutorial, it says that "only one client can control the front panel at a time".. May I ask is there any way or method to have multiple client control the front panel at the same time? Is .NET or .ASP could help on this? Or pls suggest any third party software that could do this... Thanks.....  Appreciate it!

Figured this would be a good place to continue the discussion of remote panel access....


My first question ( of possibly many to come ) is if I can connect remotely to a vi across different versions of LV. Mainly... LV6.1 <-> LV7.1 ....

As of right now Im getting an error that says something along the lines of;  "Remote versions are incompatible."

wonder if there was a work around... but im assuming both versions need to be the same.... I thought maybe that the client being 7.1 and the server being 6.1 would work, but i knew it wouldnt work in the reverse ( client 6.1 to server 7.1 ) for more obvious reasons.


*EDIT* heres the exact error....

first question answered.... more to come!


*EDIT*  -- more questions -- *EDIT*

Im confusing myself on the differences between, TCPIP vis, Datasocket vis, and just using property and invoke nodes to access across a LAN network...

Are these just different ways to do the same thing?
