How to establish wireless communication between two PC's running in labview

[Prasanth_Thangavel]

Hi all,

Using our lab PC with labview 2010 SP1, we are controlling 2 EC motors with its position controller. 

Is it possible to wirlessly monitor and control this program using another PC installed with same LabVIEW 2012 SP1.

If so, what are the possibilities?

Is it possible to do this using ad-hoc network?

Sure you can.

As long as you can get the two PC's to be on the same network wirelessly, LabVIEW won't notice that it is a wireless vs. a wired connection.

You could use shared variables.  You could use TCP/IP to send data back and forth.

Sorry for the bump.

I'm required to establish wireless communication between two PCs using labview. One is a Labview 2010 version and the other is a Labview 2012 version. Is it possible to establish a connection? If so, how do I go about it?

Any useful links would also be much appreciated.

Yes.

Just use the TCP/IP functions that both LabVIEW 10 and 12 have.  Look in the example finder for TCP/IP communicatioin examples.

Thank you for the helpful reply Ravensfan.

Could you give me a link to the example finder of TCP/IP communication examples?

Way to open Example Finder - Navigate to Help >> Find Examples... Then, search for TCP/IP.
