Labview remote connection

Hi,
I have installed Labview on my office computer, however my personal laptop is connected to the instrument of interest in the lab. I can not install Labview on my personal laptop because of university license policy. I installed the GPIB driver on my laptop. I wonder if I can use Labview to remotely connect to the laptop (known IP address) and collect data.
Thanks in advance

Hi hn1,
Unfortunately, I don't think that connecting directly to the instrument over the network will be possible. There are a couple of options I can think of which might be possible as a workaround. Both are fairly complicated:
1. Create a new project with a VI which reads data from the GPIB instrument and writes the data to a file on a shared network drive. Then build the project into an executable. Install the LabVIEW Runtime engine on the laptop. Put the executable file on the laptop and run it. Then create a VI on the desktop which reads the data from the file and displays it.
2. Similar to the above, but instead of writing data to a shared network file, use VI Server to share the data over the network from the executable file on the laptop to the VI on the desktop.
Hope that helps!

What is the Algorithm Used by the LabVIEW Remote panels?

Hi
Has any one had any idea about how dose "LabVIEW Remote Front Panels " works and its Algorithm?

Is it possible to intercept data values transferred from server to
remote computer display and put them in a text file for post-processing
? Each data value is accessible individually with graphic cursor but I
don't know how to store the whole set of data.
Thank you for your help

NI Server remote connection security

Hi,
I searched all the NI site and all the Labview help but couldn't find answers. My intention is to run one or more VI Server on an unsecure TCP/IP network. I would like to allow remote access using Open Application Reference node. We have Academic Site License so I have access to most recent version of almost all NI software. Related to this I have the three following questions:
1) I'd like to limit the access to certain VIs and certain VI servers (if there will be more than one server) on user level. The IP address level access rights are not enough since multiple users may have the same IP address. There is a feature in Labview 8.0 called Domain Account Manager with which I can create domains and create users and user groups. Can I use this information to limit access to VIs running on a VI server? There seems to be a NI Security: Get Access Rights Method which is more or less undocumented. Where can this be used?
2) How is the connection created by Open Application Reference and used in remote VI calls secured? Is the connection encrypted or can it be made encrypted using strong cryptography? How is the user information passed to the VI server when user logs in to a Domain Account Manager account? How is the user identity secured after the login during the session when user accesses security controlled resources?
3) What is the NI Labview related roadmap for authentication, access control, accounting and security of remote connections? I would really appreciate if the roadmap would include features that would allow secure remote access to any labview resources with user level dynamically controllable access control. I also would like to see some kind of session management so that passive users could be automatically logged out. I would also appreciate if each instance of re-entrant VI (or class objects in the future) could have different access rights that could be defined when VI (object) reference is opened. Now anybody who has access to a certain VI can access the dataspace of any reentrant instance of that VI.
Tomi Maila

It seems nobody knows... I assume no answer means no security at all. I suppose I have to write my own API for remote application calls then.
I guess the following solution may work for user level security on remote VI calls. Put VI server behind a VPN capable firewall. This firewall is taking the responsibility of access control. Allow only VPN connections to pass trough the firewall. Allocate a unique IP-address for each VPN connection. Now each user has a separate dynamic IP-address. Since open application reference calls can be allowed/denied on the IP-address basis, this functions as a user level access control. However this is really overkill solution. Does anybody come up with anything simpler? Of course some other secure certificate based connection can be used instead of IP-sec based VPN.

Can I open remote connection manager with no menu bar

I am running a LabVIEW executable that does not have the standard menu bar, is there a way to programmatically open the remote connection manager. I know that I can access properties that provide this data, but if possible I wanted to make use of the code that LabView has already created

It's a VI called connection manager in \Project\remotepanel.llb.

Problem of security using ADO from Labview to connect to Access 2000 Data Base

I have a problem using ADO from Labview to connect to Access 2000 Data Base.
First I open a ADO_DB_Engine and create a Workspace as an ODBCDirect. After I execute the open_data_base using the workspace. Here you can specify the parameter connect with /type of connection / user / password.
The problem is the following:
Although you configure a password for the Administrator user in Access, you can read/writte to data base from Labview using ADO without any security and without putting the user and password in the parameter connect. I need to access with security to data base using users and permissions but it seems that the parameter connect does not operate.
I attach
you a example of the vis and database. Remember create a ODBC connect with BD3.mdb
Thanks a lot

Hi Kahn,
If you use ADODB_connection -> Connection.Open and set in connection string :
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Jet OLEDBystem Database=c:\.....\Protegida5.mdw; Password=pepe;user ID=jose; Data Source:c:\......\BD5.mdb";
and after connection.execute ->
INSERT INTO tabla1 VALUES (5,'XXX'
you will be able to access to the database with security using the provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0. With this provider you have to use the path and the name of the database file c:\.....\mdb file. From this way the problem is solved. (SEE SAMPLE_ADO_W2_JET.VI).
BD5.mdb have the following administrator user: user:jose / passwordepe (Protegida5.mdw)
The problem is when you want to
use ODBC and DSN. The name of this ODBC Provider is MSDASQL;. If you use this type of connection you can not enter to the database I attach you.
This database has a new administrator owner. I deleted the default administrator. If you support the default administrator you can connect to database by ODBC / DSN but the security disappear because you can always enter to database with any password, user o PC.
FINALLY I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS FOR Application Engineers of National Instruments or someone who knows these subjects before deciding the best way to connect locally o remotely with security to Access from Labview:
1.- Is it possible to enter to Database BD5.mdb from ODBC and DSN with this owner?
2.- I want to connect remotely to Access database too. Is it possible to use Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 using the path (.mdb file) without DSN?
3. Which is the optimal Provider for Microsoft Access?
I thank you beforehand for your technical support.
Peter Mst.

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Thinking of making the switch--Will I be able to remotely connect?

I'm yearning to return to the Apple fold having left years ago after owning mutliple Apple ][ +'s, e's, c's and GS's. I've been in the PC environment for years but want to come back. I currently use PC's in three locations: at work, at my primary home and my secondary home. I work at a university and do a lot of work from home--my primary home during the academic year and my secondary home during the summer. I currently use Windows XP Pro and the Windows Remote Desktop allows me to connect directly to my work computer for everything, email, file manipulations, creation of Word, PowerPoint, etc., so to others it appears I'm in the office for everything--if only I could get it to answer my phone!
It's time for me to replace my computer at the office and I have the opportunity to get a very capable Mac Pro and I really want to do this, but I can't without figuring out the work from home connection. I've read a little about the Apple Remote Desktop but it seems to be way more than I need--it's an IT systems administrator tool.
I can probably upgrade at my primary home later this year but the opportunity to make the change at work will be near term as we approach the end of our fiscal year (30 June). And I probably cannot personally afford Macs at both my primary and secondary homes this year. So my question is two fold:
1-for the long term, if I did have Macs at all three locations, could I remotely connect to my work desktop and work from home?
2-for the short term, if I had a Mac Pro at work but Windows XP Pro machines at home, is there any technology that would allow me to connect from my Windows PCs at home to my Mac desktop at work?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to figure out how to come back...

ARD is nothing more than VNC.
1) Yes, but it will be PAINFULLY slow since you'll need to use VNC. ARD uses uncompressed (and with no encryption) VNC, but you can get 3rd party VNC servers and clients (Chicken of the VNC, Vine, etc.).
2) Yes, you will need to use VNC. Again. Painful. Slow. Now, if you wanted to connect from a Mac to an XP Pro box, you could use Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/mac). That is fairly quick.

How many users for remote connection can I create, from support SAP

Dear all
I have a doubt with how many users can be created in my system ERP 6.0 for the remote connection, for the error product messages on the marketplace SAP,without this counts as user license.
I have not found any notes or documents from SAP to explain this.
I appreciate your help.

How to Configure Remote Connections To SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

Post written June 10, 2010 and pertains to:
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on both my server and local machines: SQLX_SRV,
SQLX_LOC
SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on both my server and local machines:
MS_SRV, MS_LOC
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed on a Hyper-V VPS: WS
SQL Server Configuration Manager on both my server and local machines:
CMGR_SRV, CMGR_LOC
Server Manager: SMGR
I am connecting to my hosting server via Remote Desktop Connection: RDC
I installed SQLX_SRV and MS_SRV on my hosting server and SQLX_LOC and MS_LOC on my local development machine. I am able to use MS_LOC to connect to SQLX_LOC and to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV. However I am not able to use MS_LOC to connect
with SQLX_SRV. Here's what I have done so far:
SMGR -> Configuration -> Windows Firewall to turn off the Windows Firewall for Domain, Private and Public profiles. Obviously I'll change this later, but until I can connect I want to remove as many variables as possible.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services to confirm that both SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services were running.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS to ENABLE the Shared Memory, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP protocols and DISABLE the deprecated VIA protocol.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> double click TCP/IP to open the TCP/IP properties dialogue. On the Protocol tab Enabled: Yes, Keep Alive: 30000, changed Listen All to No. I've tried it both
ways, but I've got six IP addresses on my server and I wanted to configure SQLEXPRESS to listen to only the first and primary IP. On the IP Addresses tab went to IPALL and cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field.
For my first and primary IP Address I made sure that Enabled was Yes, I cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field, and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field. For all other IP Addresses Enabled was set to No and I cleared both the TCP Dynamic Ports and TCP Port
fields.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click and Restart. This of course stopped and restarted my instance of SQLX_SRV enabling the TCP/IP configuration in the previous step to take effect.
On my server, SQLX_SRV is the only instance of SQL Server running and so it's easy to hard wire it to the default port 1433.
The instance name for both SQLX_SRV and SQLX_LOC is the default "SQLEXPRESS". My server machine name is "SERVER1" on the EnglishBrains.com domain. So the proper local name (local within the context of my remote server as connected via RDC) for
my instance of SQLX_SRV would be:
SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
Note the use of a backslash NOT a forward slash.
Of course to connect remotely from my development machine, which is not on the same domain as my hosting server, I would need to specify the domain as well, so the SQL Server name becomes:
SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
I must also use SQL Server Authentication. Before I can use such a remote connection, however, there are still several configuration steps required. So on my server (connected via RDC) I used MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
for the server name and Windows Authentication. Once connected I performed the following steps:
MS_SRV -> right click the connected parent SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS instance node at the top -> Properties -> Security -> Server authentication: select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode". This will enable connections using either type
of authentication.
Next, leaving the Server Properties dialogue open, Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" box.
Click OK to save these changes and close the Server Properties dialogue.
MS_SRV -> Security -> right click Logins and select "New Login...", the Login - New dialogue opens.
On the General page Enter a name for your new login
Select SQL Server Authorization
Enter and confirm a password
Uncheck Enforce password expiration
Select the default Database and Language
On the ServerRoles page Public will be checked, also check SysAdmin. This is probably not a good idea and I'll uncheck this as soon as I can connect to the SQLX_SRV.
On the User Mapping page select the databases you want your new Login to access and enter the Default Schema of "dbo".
At the bottom of the User Mapping page you'll see the Database Roles table. Public will be selected by default. Also select db_Owner. Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect.
On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue.
With these steps completed you should now be able to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SQL Server Authentication by supplying the name and password for your new Login. I tried this and it worked fine. Next I tried to use this same login
remotely, that is I went to my local development machine and used MS_LOC to try and connect to SQLX_SRV by using
SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
and opting for SQL Server Authentication and supplying the name and password of my new login.
THIS DID NOT WORK?? Instead I get the following error message:
Cannot connect to SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

If you follow the suggested help link, you are told:
The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could be caused by one of the following reasons:
A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid.
The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled.
The firewall on the server has refused the connection.
The SQL Server Browser service (sqlbrowser) is not started.
WRONG on all 4 counts! The instance name IS valid. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled. The firewall has been shut down, so it is not relevant. Finally the SQL Server Browser IS started.
The next thing I tried was to circumvent discovery by the SQL Browser service by using the following syntax to specify the IP address and port directly when specifying the SQL Server name.
tcp:68.71.134.186,1433
Using this in the Server Name field I was able to use MS_SRV to successfully connect to SQLX_SRV (using SQL Server Authentication of course) with or without the SQL Browser service running.
However when I tried to connect from MS_LOC to SQLX_SRV using this same login (WITH SQL Browser service running just for good measure) it does not work?? I get the following error message:
Cannot connect to tcp:68.71.134.186,1433.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

If you follow the help link you are told:
"The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections."
However, the firewall has been shut down and the server HAS been configured to accept remote connections!
I confirmed that i could indeed Ping to 68.71.134.186 and running NetStat -a |find /i "listening" on the server shows that the server is indeed listening at 68.71.134.186 Port 1433 -- which is why I was able to connect to SQLX_SRV using MS_SRV with
tcp:68.71.134.186,1433 .
IN SUMMARY: Even though I can connect to my SQLEXPRESS instance multiple ways from the server itself, I cannot connect remotely from my development machine!
If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful!

My two cents to help you out on c# code example to configure the remote sql server express.

Network-related or Instance-specfic error when attempting remote connection from SSMS

Hello,
I have installed SQL Server express on a Win7 desktop and want to connect to it via SSMS on a laptop. I have set up a SQL login on the desktop so I can login, but when I try to connect to the instance from the laptop via SSMS I get the error 26 with saying
there is a network related or instance specific issue and that there is an error locating the Server/Instance specified.
I am trying to connect to a named instance on the SQL Server on the win desktop. Remote connections are enabled and TCP 1433 and UPD 1434 ports are open in Windows Firewall. Antything else I should watch for?
Thanks

Hi MrDAndersen,
According to your description, you come across the errors of pre-login handshake and wait operation timing out. Please help to post the full error log for further analysis.
Based on my research, this issue could occur when .NET Framework 4.5 and non-IFS BSP/LSP are installed on the machine, and non-IFS BSP/LSP interferes with the call to Winsock.
To work around the issue, you could use one of the two methods below.
1. Determine whether a non-IFS BSP or LSP is installed. You could use the "netsh WinSock Show Catalog" command and examine every Winsock Catalog Provider Entry item that is returned. If the 0x20000 bit is clear (not set), it is a non-IFS BSP or
LSP and remove the installed non-IFS Winsock LSPs. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2568167
2. Download and apply .NET Framework 4.5.2:

There are two connect items for your reference.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The
server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26- Error:Locating Server\instance Specified)
How Can i solve this?

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine. For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

Remote Connecting to a PC from my Mac

Hi, I am wondering how I can essentially "screen share" with my friend using a pc. By this I mean they share their screen. I've been looking on the internet for answers and I have found multiple hits for connecting from PC to Mac but not the other way around. In addition, from what I have read, nothing was vert step-by-step. I heard about TightVNC so I told my friend to download it and that I would be able to remote connect to them using what I have in Leopard. However, it's at this point that I am completely clueless on how to actually establish that connection.
I would like to know what the PC user needs to do and secondly what I would need to know/type in in order to connect to their pc and control their screen.
Thanks

When it says "computer:________" Connect. I put in the PC's ip address (I'm pretty sure it's the right one, I will ask again if not).
Do they have a home router between their ISP connection and their PC? If so, their router needs to forward port 3389 from the Internet to their PC. And the IP address you need is the IP address assigned to the router by the ISP. They could access a web site such as <http://whatismyip.com> to find out their public IP address.
1. Who's user name and Password? The PC User's or My account name and my password? If theirs, they don't have a name or password, they turn on the computer and the desktop is there, without having to log in. Do they need to have one (an account or w/e).
The PC's Username and Password. And yes they do have a username and password. They may not remember what they setup, since they have it set to auto login. I do NOT know how to find out this information, as I am a Mac and/or Unix kind of guy
2. Domain. This is optional is it not? Can the IP go in here?
This is the Windows account domain, and nothing to do with IP addresses nor DNS. Mostly they have WORKGROUP or MSHOME as their domain. If it is optional, then ignore it.
Here are some alternative approaches. Sign-up for a free LogMeIn.com account <http://logmein.com>. Have them install the LogMeIn.com server and associate it with the LogMeIn.com account you created. Now you can use your web browser (Safari) to login to the LogMeIn.com account, and from there connect to their PC's LogMeIn.com server.
The current version of Skype allows screen sharing, however, I think it is a view ONLY connection. That is to say, you can watch their screen, but you can not control their keyboard, nor their mouse. <http://skype.com>
Another choice might be a purchased copy of GoToMyPC (there are both Mac and PC versions).
There is also TimBukTu from <http://www.netopia.com> which is also cross platform.
VNC has also been mentioned. Again, VNC needs router port forwarding, only VNC needs port 5900 forwarded. TightVNC, UltraVNC, RealVNC are possible Window's VNC servers. JollysFastVNC (highly recommended), Chicken of the VNC, or Mac OS X built-in Screen Sharing (Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server -> vnc://ip.addr.of.pc). I only recommend the built-in Mac OS X Screen Shring if the other system is on the same high speed network, or if connecting to another Mac OS X system.

ERROR 14614 on Front End when testing with Remote Connectivity Analyzer

Hello forum
Does the Lync Remote Connectivity Analyzer not support 128 encryption?
Reason im asking is the following:
When I test my Lync edge server. I get the following error on the RCA result page: RegisterException.
After this error on the RCA, the event 14614 is logged on my Standard Edition Front end server.
INFO:
User authentication with NTLM protocol failed with error SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION. This indicates a potential mismatch between security policy settings on the client and server computers.
Cause: This error can occur if the settings in "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" policy on the client computer are not the same as the settings in the "Network security: Minimum
session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers" policy on this server. By default, the "Require 128-bit encryption" setting is disabled for computers running Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000 Server, or Windows XP. For computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, this setting enabled by default.
Resolution:
Ensure that the "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients" policy settings on the computers from which users log on are the same as "Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based
(including secure RPC) servers" policy settings on this server.
All of our Lync servers are running on Windows 2012 R2. So why this error from the RCA?

Please check your settings on the client and on the server.
I know, this is a old blog info, but it discribed the problem.

Thanks for the answer, but in this case the "Client" is the Remote Connectivity Analyzer. So my question was, why is it not working with that? Does the RCA not support 128 bit?

Getting error when reading xml file from a remote connection

Hi all,
I want to read an xml file from a remote connection, not from my local machine.So when i am creating the data server i am giving the host name(that is the ip of the machine where the xml file is located), giving the proper username and password and giving the path of the xml file. When i am testing the connection the error that is coming:- "Connection failed and the xml file could not be created, verify that you have write permission in the directory"...
but read write and execute permissions have been given on the directory as well as to the file...

Hi Sutirtha,
Initially I have started the agent.sh giving the agent name <agent name>and port number 20910 and defined it in the topology manager it is showing that the agent test is succesful. Then I tested a particular Data server against that agent and the test was successful.
After this we had stopped the agent and restarted it.
However now suddenly the testing against the remote agent is failing with the following excep:
