VI to communicate with Systemlink Dashboard

[kevinob51]

Hi all,

I've been digging around for a while now and I can't seem to figure out how to take data from a vi and output it onto a chart on the Systemlink dashboard. 

I'm trying to replicate what's being done in this video, but I can't seem to figure out what is going on in the VI that gets called (at around 4:02 in the video). If anyone has the block diagram of that vi or something similar that they'd be willing to share, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

He used the Skylone tag api in the VI to update tag values in the SystemLink server, these value changes are then displayed in the Dashboard. As you probably saw, the dashboard graphs are connected to specific tags.

Search for the Skyline/SystemLink Api in the LV palette. If they are missing install the SystemLink client package, it should install Skyline support for your LV version, unless it's too old.
