Remote Panel control appearance synchronization

I am using the embedded HTML page to view and control my application in remote. I understand that only the value changes will be updated in the remote and not the control display changes like scale change etc. So I poll for such changes and refresh them using property nodes to enforce the display sync. This works correctly whenever a scale change is done in the actual exe i.e. the same changes are reflected in the remote web browser too. But when a scale change is done in the remote, this is not reflected in the application. What might be the reason for it? Scale change event done in the remote is captured and read properly. But still they do not appear in the exe.
Also the chart has a multiplier factor of 0.1. So if I enter 3 as the max scale range it should come as 30. This is the expected behavior. But this is not the case in the remote. If 3 is entered, then this is entered as 3 as such and not 30.
Are these behaviors expected? If yes, are there any workarounds?
Thanks,
Priyadarsini

You can use propery nodes to do this. Take a look at this VI.

  • Network setting in Remote Panel Control

    Is there a standard way to do the Network setting when doing the Remote Control? Customers have been asking how to tell the MIS to do the firewall setting, cause once the firewall doesn't setup well, the Remote Panel will not work properly and will have some failure messsages. Looking forward to hearing the feedback as soon as possible.

    I imagine if you have a firewall, you want to know what ports are opened when you connect to a remote front panel. I know that port 80 has to be open but I am not sure about additional ports. There are programs on the web that will allow you to monitor port activities. Look for portmon and/or netstat .

  • Can 2 remote panels control the same VI without right-clicking to get control?

    Is it possible for multiple remote panels to be able to actively interface with a single running VI without having to manually request and release control by right clicking?  I am using Labview 8.2 Professional Version.
    Thanks for any help.

    No. Only one client can control a remote panel at a time, see LabVIEW Help ->
    "Controlling an Application or Front Panel Remotely Using a Browser"
    You might create a copy of that VI and provide 2 web pages as a workaround.

  • Remote panel control

    Hi
    Does anyone know if there is a way to control an applicaton via internet
    in local machine under the subnet (192.168.0.2)?
    Thanks

    Quick note,
    I believe IP' startiing with "192" are not routed.
    Control and monitoring will only work on the same LAN as the target machine.

  • Remote panel and selective control access through Security with DSC

    Hi Everyone,
    I looked around to see what labview had to offer concerning security of remote panel and all the solutions I've found only propose full access to a remote panel, or none. The login page is not an option for me as everyone on the intranet can access the remote panel for monitoring but not everyone can have control to the buttons on it.
    With the DSC module, I can give securities to the different controls and it works great with the exe, if I log in or out, the controls appears or disapears. Unfortunately, with remote panels, those controls are always visibles. Furthermore, when I log in from a remote panel, all the other remote panels get logged in with the same username and priviledges. When I log out, same thing, it logs out all the other remote panels. So the last guy who logs in gives its priviledges to every one else who is monitoring the remote panel at that time. when he logs out, he logs everyone out. I used a reentrant vi hoping that this would solve the problem but it didnt.
    I would like to do what my colleague does with Advantech without any problem. He has only 1 .exe is running on the server and whoever connects to it through webserver, just needs to log in and he has all the priviledges of an guest, operator, admin, etc.. with access to controls and features accordingly. All this without interfering with the other people using the remote panels. This colleague has always been doubtful about the capabilities of labview to do SCADA systems and uptil now, I've been able to prove him wrong.. please help me continue
    There are workarounds, using remote desktop to the server instead of webserver but it definitely is not as practical for the client and it will need quite some work to to synchronise all the exes open from the differents sessions, through the use of shared variables, binding and securities.
    Thank you for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you very much for your reply Jordan.
    The NI security info is on the server (local domain with groups and users), and the running exes as well. The remote panel is not supposed to be accessed by internet, at least not yet, but just by the computers on the network and thinkline computers who are directly connected to the servers. the remote panel is accessed through the simple url: http://serverip/Application.html
    There is no problem with accessing the remote panel of the exes on the server from another computer on the network. But there are several security issues when logging in and out with the NI Security Programmatic Login and logout VIs through the remote panel..
    The 1st problem occurs when several people access the remote panel at the same time. In my setup, everyone is allowed to check what's happening on the front panel of the running exe, go through the tabs, check the graphs, the tables, etc.. , but only the administrators and the operators can send commands to the machines and the production line through this remote panel. Hence some buttons are accessible to all users, while others are only accessible depending  on the privileges of the person logged in.
    So like I said in the 1st post, I configured some buttons to be accessible only by the users of the admin group. When the exe runs, it's perfect, if I log in and out with an admin account, the buttons appears and disappear accordingly. But when I check the remote panel, those admin buttons are always visible, even if I am logged in as a guest or even logged out. Is it because the remote panel only needs minimum runtime engine and doesnt use the dsc runtime engine? if so, any work around?
    Furthermore, another big problem is that if I login as an admin in one remote panel, then login as an guest in another remote panel, and then logout back from the first remote panel, it says: "User Domain/Guest logged out". Hence, my second login logged out my first user. I can actually see the admin buttons appearing and disappearing on the exe when login as admin and guest from the different remote panels.
    So that's it, I would like my remote panel to behave like a normal scada system, with one exe running in the back (on the server) and with all the users accessing it through web server. Several users might/will access the remote panel at the same time and each of the users have a login/password that grant some of them the privileges to take some actions while giving the others only monitoring rights.
    I hope that I have been more clear in this 2nd post,
    Thank you again for your time.
    Best Regards,
    Tom.

  • How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

    How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
    appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
    one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
    push it again, that the second panel disappears.

    >
    You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
    code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
    some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
    the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
    The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
    changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
    sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
    TRUE to show or
    hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
    property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
    the VI name.

  • How do I get the Label for a Front Panel Control to appear in the Block Diagram but not on the Front Panel?

    How do I get the Label for a Front Panel Control to appear in the Block Diagram but not on the Front Panel? On the Front Panel I am making a complex control that consists of a Slider and a Numerical Input box. Both Controls display the same information and either can be used for Input. When one changs, the other is made to display the same value.
     But I only want the Slider to display the Label on the Front Panel, to avoid confusion. On the Block Diagram however, I want both controls to display their Labels so that I know what they are. How do I display the Label for a Control on the Block diagram, but not display its Label on the Front Panel?

    No.  The Label Visible property is separate for the front panel control label and the block diagram terminal label.
    How did you start out with the block diagram's label not being visible?  Whenever I drop a control or indicator, the label is always visible on both the FP and BD by default.  Maybe there is a LabVIEW option that causes new controls/indicators not to have their labels visible by default, but I have yet to find it.  I don't think an item should ever be dropped without the label visible, good LabVIEW coding practice demands that the labels for control terminals on the block diagram be visible so that you know what control or indicator a wire is going to.
    That being said, I have seen a lot of VI's posted where the label for the terminal on the BD is not shown (against good programming practice.)  I've gone to the BD and right clicked to show the label.  Sometimes, the people have an empty label (which will turn off the visibility for both the FP and BD) and I'm forced to add some text of my own into the label so I can figure out what their code is doing.  When I add some text to the label, at that time, I find both the BD and FP labels become visible.
    Are you dealing with controls that have empty labels to start?
    Good programming practices:
    1.  Always have a name for all of your controls, never use and empty label by deleting the text in the label.
    2.  Make the labels unique.  For example, don't have two controls both called Stop.  How do you know quickly know which terminal relates to which control?
    3.  Always show the labels on the block diagram, so you know the function of a control's terminal.  If you want to hide the label on the FP, that's okay.
    4.  If you want a different label to appear on the FP than whatever you actually called the control, then use the caption.  You can hide the label and show the caption.  This is useful if you need to programmatically change what the "label" is on the front panel such if you are making an application that needs to change its user interface such as for a foreign language.

  • FieldPoint WEB Remote Panel Tab Control

    Using a TAB control on Fieldpoint (FP 2000) and Labview 7.1
    I wanted to implement a password feature mainly for the Web browser
    remote panel feature for my Filedpoint application, as suggested in "Developing Remote Front Panel LabVIEW Applications"
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/e789515b9976253786256b1f007e039b?OpenDocument#5
    (see bottom of the page)
    "Alternatively, you can program security into the VI itself. For
    example, you can require a user to log in when the VI first runs, and
    disable all other aspects of the VI until you verify the login. To do
    so, place a login field on one page of a tab control, the other
    controls on subsequent pages, and enable the other pages after the user
    successfully logs in.
    I find that I can "Hide tabs" using the "Page Selector Visible" feature
    if the Remote panel is hosted by Labview in Development Mode but this
    feature does function with the Web remote panel mode. In fact you can
    use the Tab Control normally from the Web remote panel.
    I find that I can disable a specific tab if the Remote panel is hosted by Labview in Development Mode but this feature is ignored by the Web remote panel mode.
    Thus: -
      Do you know of any limitations (a list would be usefull, if there are specific limitations)?
      If its a limitation, is it of FieldPoint or the Web remote panel or the Runtime Engine installed in the Browser or ...?
      Do you know of a better way of getting a password feature.
        ( I am aware of IP security available - the IP
    addresses are DHCP supplied - " 'Doh' says Homer Simpson", the P.C's
    will change as well)
    I lookforward to any insights..., wisdom or experiences you may have had

  • Modern 3D surface appearance in remote panel

    Hello folks,
    I noticed that a modern style 3D Surface indicator is displayed differently in a remote panel. In the example below, I:
    simply put such a graph on a blank VI,
    made the borders transparent,
    built an executable out of this VI
    run the executable on a server
    connected to the remote panel from my development laptop
    (sorry for the gigantic picture)
    As you can see, the borders, which should be transparent, are grey.
    And the color scale is different and the axis, grid, labels etc. don't show.
    Why is it like that?
    LabVIEW 2013 SP1
    Windows 7 64bit
    Windows Server 2012 64 bit
    Windows 8.1 32 bit

    It appears that, although the ActiveX surface graph appears on the palette, it is in fact NOT supported in LabVIEW 2009 64-bit. I just tried to place one on the front panel in a new VI and it also would not load.  I guess this means I will have to consider one of the alternative 3d plots.  I did some signficant customization through property nodes, so this might actually be a time consuming process.

  • How to set up the time a user can control a remote panel

    Hi Everybody.
    I'm doing an application using remote panels, however, I can't find information about how can I limit the time a user can control the remote panel.
    I've seen in the Property Node in Remote Panels:Connection To Clients the value "Control end time" which I supose it contains the time when the control is returned to the server but I have no idea how to modify this.
    Best Regards.

    Hi inner_trax, actually LabVIEW does not provide such a feature natively; however you can start thinking about having your remote panel VI shutting down after some specific time and then having in your server another VI running always and that each specific time ti starts the remote VI; think about it, it may help you reaching your goal.

  • Using tab control to login into remote panel

    https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-7746;jsessionid=82a40f1930d65e9a085c08dd4b26b8dea4b8c3d579a7.e38MaNyPaNePaO0Oc350n6jAmljGr0
    I am using the idea in the link as a way to password protect a remote panel. However, there is a problem. After one user logs in, if a second user connects while the first user is logged in, then the second user automatically gets access without having to log in. Does any one have any ideas to force the second (and other additional users) to log in before they can get access? 
     

    If they're all accessing the same remote panel, then the current state of the remote panel is what they will all see because that's the state of the VI itself on the remote system.
    How are the users accessing the remote panel? If it's through your own local VI, then you could have them log in there?
    Maybe the Advanced Programmatic option here could work for you.

  • How can I disable messages generated by Remote Panel?

    I created an application (EXE) to server its panel to other network clients.
    I used the Tools > Web Publishing Tool to generate a HTML code to create two different web pages to access this application using Web server:
    - Embedded (for some users who need visualize the panel in real time).
    - Monitor (to display panel snapshots to users updated every 1 second).
    I don't need anyone controlling the remote panel, so I used this option:
    Tools > Options > Web Server: Browser Access and checked Allow Viewing (not controlling) for every client connected.
    Ok, both are working fine. But it a user try to Request control of VI on the Embedded page (right click in the remote panel), the application running in the server displays a message: Denied control request from XXX: Check permissions.
    The embedded page stills working fine, but in the Monitor page that message appears in a box (see attached picture below)..
    Is there a way to disable all messages in the remote panel? I realized that I need to access the computer where the application EXE is running to close the message.
    I'm thinking in two solutions:
    - Unable the right click menu in the embedded page to avoid clients request control of the remote panel.
    - Run a code in the application to erase messages generated.
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Klein

    Hi Dpcamargo,
    I'm already using monitor with a delay of 1 second and this doesn't seems real time like remote panel visualization.
    But you sent me a good tip: use java code to cancel right clicks at all....
    I will try this solution. 
    Hey, we are both brazilians! So, thank you so much, Dpcamargo.

  • Detect remote panel connections?

    Is there a way for my VI to 'detect' when someone has connected to it with a Remote Panel and requested control?
    I have an issue (due to the size/complexity of my VI I'm sure) that when a RP gains control, after a period of time, the main VI begins to slow down and starts to lose data (it's coming from a TCP connection)! 
    I'd like to be able to see when a RP gains control, and automatically log them off after a period of time (5 min?).  I know that there is a connection time-out on the web publishing page, but it appears to only come into play if 1 RP has control and another requests it.  I need to be able to limit the control time of a single RP.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Cory,
    Well, it almost worked...
    I'm attaching my little test program 'RP Control.vi'.  I've compiled this into an executable that's in my server path, so I can get to it from my laptop (on my network).  When I run it from my server, I can press my 'Start' button and nothing happens--no client RP's are connected, so this is as expected.
    When I connect via my laptop to the server, my laptop is now the remote client, but it's hasn't requested control -- again, nothing happens when I press my 'Start' button.
    When the laptop requests control of the VI, and I press the 'Start' button from the laptop, I see all my data fields filled in, and I show my calculated 'End Time?' which is 1 minute after the laptop got control. 
    I can then keep pressing my 'Start' button, and see the 'Time Now' update, and when 1 minute elapses, I see my 'Close' LED turn on, indicating I should have activated the 'Close Connection To Client'. 
    However, the laptop still has control of the VI...it hasn't returned to the server. 
    Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong, or does the 'Close Connection To Client' work differently?
    <edited>
    Looking at the Method - 'RP.Close Connection To Client' does this return control of the VI to the server copy (which is what I want to do), or does it try to completely disconnect the Remote Panel (which is not what I'm looking for)?
