Hi Azzam87,

which OS run on your PXI Controller? You need a program which support it. Which PXI controller do you use?

Hi Azzam87,

in this case you can install VNC to your PXI controller. With this you can connect from the laptop to your windows system and control it.

Hope it helps.

Hello mike,

I have figured out that VNC looks like Remota Desktop, but I have to pay for VNC, I would like to ask what are the differences between them.

Best Regards!

Hi,

When using Remote Desktop you can access all applications on computer on which you are connected. When using LabVNC, you are allowed remote web-based control of a single VI, rather than the entire desktop. By leveraging the open source code in VNC, and using some existing modifications of VNC, modifications in LabVIEW and C++ (DLLs) were created to provide this functionality for LabVIEW users.

Same funcionality can be also achieved by LabVIEW Remote Front panel.

NI LabVIEW Full Development System purchase includes one remote panel license.

Hi,

Since you are remoting from VIsta to XP, you might as well use just Remote desktop. If you wanna use just to control the VIs, you can use remote panel present in LabVIEW or LabVNC which is a open source GPL software.
