remote panel

[cheatian]

I have created a htm remote panel file using the web publishing. I have no problem to open the site when i input the url in the browser in the same pc(server). However, i fail to open the site in other pc by inputting the url in the browser. What should i do?

Hello

Make sure Labview run time is installed in the other PC.
You can download it from this site.

Where is the other pc relative to the server? Is it on the same company intranet, inside a firewall, or what?

Thank you for your advise. That means no matter which pc(client) i use to open that site whether via internet or intranet, i have to install LV runtime, true? No exception?
Once again, thank you so much!

If i wish to access the page through internet, what are the things i need to do? Thank you.=)

Hello
Hope your remote panel works fine.
Take a look at this link and enclosed links about remote panels (mainly Developing remote panels..)

The mothod to acces remote panels thru internet is basically the same you are using.
Consider Internet toolkit from NI, security and amuont of data you are sending..

Hope it helps

the client pc is connected to the server via internet. Actually, it is not yet connected. I wish to access the page from the client pc through the internet. Thank you.

Hi Cheatian,

If you are only using the remote panel to monitor, then you don't need the run time engine. If you wish to actually request control of the panel, then you need it. The reason is that if you are monitoring all you are doing is taking a snapshot of the front panel and updating that snapshot every so often. So, depending on what you are trying to do, you are going to encounter different problems. Can you provide some more details about your application and your goal? From there we can offer a better solution to help you out! Thanks!

Hi Jeremy
I didn´t know about that option.
Actually, if Lv runtime is not installed, I only get vi labels and a very nice white square.
I am very interested in remote panel monitoring whitout NI soft installed in client PC, so,please, do yo mind to explain exact configuration-settings to achieve that ?

Thanks a lot

In the Web Publishing Wizard, there should be a pull down menu for Viewing Options. You have 3 choices - Embedded, Snapshot, and Monitor. Embedded is used if you want to request control (and therefore requires the runtime engine). Snapshot takes an image of the front panel and posts it as html, so you must refresh to view changes. Monitor does the same as snapshot, except it continuously refreshes. As of now, monitoring is only supported in Netscape, and IE 5.0 (or later) refreshes every so often, which is not reliable. I would suggest that if you are not using Netscape, write a small javascript function in your html page (once you generate it with LV's web publishing tool) that will automatically refresh the page after every X seconds. It'
s fairly easy to write this code, and I believe there should be some examples out there for you to look at (just google around for it). Good luck!
