use NI-scope remotely

[cynitha]

Hello

I have NI 5132, is it possible to web publish NI-scope so that NI-SCOPE can be controlled remotely?

Thanks

Hi Cynitha,

I think what you are looking for is an NI product called Remote Panels.  Some LabVIEW licensing comes with Remote Panels (for example the NI Developer Suite comes with a 5-connection license I believe).  You can then setup a LabVIEW program to control your scope to run on a machine that also is a web server host.  Then, from a client machine you can access the panel through a web page.  On the front panel check the menu bar for "Tools->Web Publishing Tool...".  If it is not there, then you might not have a license for remote panels.

As an alternative, you could use DataSockets or NI Shared Variables and make a client and server VIs.  The server VI would control the scope directly, while client VIs would control the scope through the server VI via a computer network.  For communication between the server and client, you could use DataSockets or NI Shared Variables.  There are other communication options as well (such as VI Server). 

My personal preference would be to use Remote Panles.

It should be noted, however, that there will be some network lag issues that you need to take into account.

Thanks for reply, Nic.

I think that I did not express my question clearly.

I have NI-5132 and NI-scope. I want to web publish ni-scope soft front panel.

Can Remote Panels web publish ni-scope soft front panel? I checked the website and no information.

how to web publish ni-scope soft front panel?

BTW, I have LabVIEW 8.6 and I can use it to web publish.

Thanks

No, you cannot use remote panels to publish the scope soft front panel but you can write your own VI to control the scope card and publish that. The source code for the soft front panel is not available. You could also use windows remote desktop or vnc to connect to the pc that has the scope card.
