[alex.]

I am familiar with LV, but new to web solution of LV.

In case I need to make a web solution for energy management system or scada system.

Can LV make it, such as linking through different web pages, realtime display, other general web tech.

May I know the advantage and disadvantage of it.

Any suggestion or good samples, thanks.

There are two techniques to connect LabVIEW via web.

1. Remote Panel: This one require LabVIEW run-time engine installation on remote machine, and there's a license fee for more than 5 connections concurrently, but the good things are no additional code develop, and VI controllable via web.

2. Web Service: This technique compile LabVIEW code as a web service, and can communicate with any client supporting web service such as flash, php, silverlight, and so on. The bad things are client code development, and cannot control VI directly.

Search ni.com with above key words, you'll find couple of examples.
