RUN VI REMOTELY

[Metachnet]

Have a need to run a Labview VI that located on computer B, remotely from computer A. Also need to pass parameters to computer from a to B.(before or at atime of execution.

Dont want to have a remote panel and human interaction, ( Embeded, Snapshot, Monitoring..etc). Need it to be part of ATE.

Can anybody give sugestion into what are the posibilitis, approach, or example. Thanks.

The easiest way to do this is using VI Server. You'll need a LabVIEW application running all the time (it doesn't need to do anything, though) on computer B. On computer A, use Open Application Reference followed by Open VI Reference to get a reference to a VI on computer B. You can load a VI off disk by providing the path to the VI relative to computer B, or you can reference a VI by name if it's already loaded into memory within the application on B. You can then run the VI on Computer B using Call By Reference. See the VI Server examples.
