Monitor Front Panel in Web browser without RTE

[Grugh_Mike]

Please let me know if its possible to display the front panel of a vi in web browser without the LV run time engine.

Can just the host address and a particular name be configured so as to view the front panel.

All the PC's are connected in network.

Installing the RTE in each PC is not possible.

Can the data be viewed in an independant web browser?

Please help.

Thank you in advance.

It's not possibly to display the front panel without the runtime engine.

The way to get around this is to use LabVIEW Web Services which was introduced in 8.6. But, you will then need to program the webpage source code so you can request the data from the LabVIEW web server and display it in a web browser. Have a look at the following:

Adnan,

Thank you for your mail.

I have successfully monitored and controlled the front panel of my vi executable from another networked system.

But i thought there should be some other way around so as to just monitor the front panel without the LV RTE.

Thank you for correcting me.

Can you just share the desktop with something like NetMeeting?

Dear jcarmody

I have not personally used netmeeting.

But as far as i know; i was just able to control and monitor my VI front panel through my web browser.

You can view an image of a front panel in a web browser without installing the Run-Time Engine.  See the help for the Web Publishing Tool, or start here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/publishing_vi_front_panels/

This is completely inaccurate.  The web publishing tool works well for displaying front panel images in a web browser with no additional software required.  The run-time engine is only needed if you want to control and interact with the VI.

Ah I wasn't ever of the snapshot feature not requiring the RTE. Apologies for the confusion.
