Remote Control Panel

Hi,
I am trying to use the remote control panel. I have already enabled the server manager, browser settings and publish the relevant vi. On another Pc running the web browser with Labview runtime 8.1 installed, I am able to view the vi html page but unable to activate it.
I have managed to activate the vi in html page on the same machine where the vi has been installed. I am wondering what I have missed out. I believe the host server machine is having a Full Development license and should have allowed for at least one client connection.
Would this problem be caused by different runtime engine? On the server side, we are running Labview 7.1 while on the client we are running runtime engine 8.1. Would this create any problem?
Thanks!

Water,
Make sure that you close out the browser on the server computer so that another computer can attain control of the VI.  When you right-click on the VI in the browser on the client computer, is Request Control even an option, or does it produce an error when you select it?  I do not think the version mismatch should be a problem, especially since you are able to view the VI on the client computer, but it wouldn't hurt to install the LabVIEW 7.1 Run-Time engine, which can be found here.  Hope this helps!

  • LV 6.1, 3D Surface Graph sometimes collapses (doesn't work stably); plus blocks use of remotely controlled panel by LV run-time engine (error #26:"window.cpp", line 11518

    1) "3D Surface Graph" does not work stably; sometimes it changes its properties (e.g. plot style) without me doing anything prior to that; a couple of times it lost a complete sense so that I had to delete the graph and install it again
    2) I tried to remotely run a VI which contains a 3D Surface Graph in it. It turns out, the use of the "3D Surface Graph" somehow blocks the remote control over the panel. As a result of that, I got the following error message: Error #26: "window.cpp", line 11518 (with LabVIEW version 6.1).
    3) Is it possible to plug into the 3D Surface Graph a few plots at
    the same time since there is a built-in control "plot number" (somehow by bundling them up or putting into an array - I tried both but didn't work) or it can be done merely by use of 'case' structure preceding the Graph, where case structure decides which plot to pass into the 3D graph?

    Hello mjoler,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    The following example will show you how to plot multiple 3D plots on a single 3D graph. Modeling your VI after the example may also alleviate the instability that you have been experiencing.

    As far as the error you are receiving, it's difficult to say what could be causing this. ActiveX controls embedded on a front panel sometimes do not display on a remote client because they draw and operate almost completely independent of LabVIEW. If possible, try remotely controlling your VI with a client computer that has a complete installation of LabVIEW. The error could also be a bu

  • ITunes on imac G4 flat Panel-Remote Control?

    I have a iMac G4 flat panel which I love. I have 10.4.6 OS and I want to use a remote control to use iTunes while I am in the same room using a treadmill I have.
    Does anyone know if there is a usb or firewire Remote Control for the imac that will work with itunes on my imac so I can change songs and turn sound up/down without getting off the treadmill?
    thanks.
    Imac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   bluetooth, wifi

    Try using a remote control such as this one; on the iMac, look through these scripts for something you like, and then save it as an application if necessary and set it to be opened by a button on the remote.

    There you go, good solution. When doing this remember that you have access to the database on the server. A structure I have found effective is to use the server DB like a dropbox that I write to, and the web server reads from.

  • Unplugging all network devices from Fios router prevents DVR freezing and remote control lock ups.

    All,
    I recently had a Verizon tech visit my house due to constant DVR and remote control freezing. TV content was freezing whether it was locally recorded, pulled from another DVR in the house, or On Demand. On a hunch after the tech tested everything and was about to leave, he unplugged my gigabit switch from the Fios router. Lo and behold everything started running perfectly. Since to the tech, the problem was solved, he closed the case and was on his way. The probem is of course I have more devices than the built in router switch provides ports for. My network is compised of an 8 port Netgear gigabit switch downstream from the Fios router with two wireless access points (with their own built in gigbait switches) connecting to the Netgear gigabit switch. There are no loops in the switch topology. I've tried changing out the router, the gigabit switch, removing the wireless acces points individually as well as plugging the access points directly into the Fios router switch (one at a time with no Netgear switch in the middle) and all scenarious cause the DVR/remote control freeezing to come back. The only devices I can plug into the Fios router without causing freezes are PC's....anything with it's own switch essentially brings the network to it's knees. If anyone has an idea how to get my network back in one piece AND make the DVR's/remotes behave, I'd greatly appreciate the help!
    My Fios equipment:
    MI-424WR GEN-3I  rev I (eye) running firmware 40.19.36

    Specific config:
    75/35 Fios connecting via ethernet from ONT. Set-top boxes connect to Fios router coax port via powered splitter.
    *All SNR/dB mesasurements taken by the tech from the set-top boxes and router are well within spec.
    Fios router provides DHCP addressing. Wireless N access points are configured for roaming with the same SSID and non-overlapping channels. Access points are not providing routing or IP adressing...all layer 3 and up services still provided by Fios router

    I am inclined to echo several of the "tns" comments, particularly with respect to your splitter.  My layout is based on a standard 8-port splitter of the type usually supplied in a VZ install.  In addition I do have a ChannelPlus device that functions as a powered splitter, but its use is limited to distribution of secondary TV signals to older analog TVs.  My first point then is that this may be an offender as "tns" has suggested.
    In addition, I'd describe your wiring as "non-standard" (red-colored items in the above diagram)  As you're no doubt aware, with 75/35 you don't really need Cat5e from the ONT (your original diagram).  It seems the highest tiers do require it, but in "standard" installations this run is coax directly to an 8-port non-powered splitter (below diagram), then from that splitter via coax to all STBs and CableCards, other TVs, et.), and also to the Actiontec.   Subsequent feeds from the Actiontec to wired devices (including WAPs) are via Ethernet (typically Cat 5e).
    In fact I don't immediately see how your STBs get additional services such as On Demand and IMG with the wiring shown in your diagram (perhaps someone can help me out here).  In "standard" installs the Actiontec must be connected via coax to the ONT to provide such services to other network clients.  I don't see that requirement being met here.
    For starters I'd recommend that you change your service from WAN Ethernet to WAN coax.  This can easily be accomplished over the telephone.  Then I'd run coax directly from the ONT to the Actiontec as in my revised diagram below (blue-colored items).  If your setup can manage with this arrangement, I think it will help greatly with the "freezing" issue.

    Subsequent Note:  You provided additional info while I was composing a response, and I'd  like to offer another comment.  Structured wiring "panels" of the type usually available are pre-configured to provide data, phone and video.  This usually means that one is in certain respects limited by the ideas of the panel designer.  I have what can be called a structured wiring layout, but it really is composed of individual small custom networks for  each service (automation, security, video, data, telco, etc.), configured so that all wiring terminates in "home run" fashion at a central panel (a few details here: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Home-Networking/Cmon-Show-Us-Your-Network/m-p/481733#M765 ).  This layout makes it easier to make adjustments (and there have been quite a few over the intervening years).  I'm thinking that in your case you may have to abandon the powered splitter (presumably) built into the panel in order to avoid your present fix.
    Subsequent Subsequent Note:   From your description it seems that you are using more than a single "whole house" DVR to supply programming to other devices.  This is a bit puzzling to me because somewhere along the line I recall reading that only a single whole house DVR was allowed on the network.  Can you elaborate a bit?

  • Remote control stopped working on MacBook Pro

    I have two MacBokk Pros (2008 and 2011), with two remote controls that worked fine and interchangeable until about a week ago. Now both remotes work only on the older one of our computers, but not on the newer one. I have looked into the Security prefs panel, "Disable Infrared Receiver" is unchecked, "this computer will work with any available remote control" is shown underneath - everything look like it was before.
    Holding "Menu" and "Fast Forward" to pair the remote produces no results after 5 seconds or more.
    I also did the the "iSight test" mentioned elsewhere in this forum, the batteries in both remotes are fine and sending a signal.
    That leads me to suspect there might be a problem with the infrared receiver. But is that a hardware or software issue and what should be done next, considering that I'm about 200 miles from the next Apple store?

    Thank you! Yes, I've seen this troubleshooting page and followed those suggestion, that's where I also found the remote control battery test mentioned above.

  • Remote control not working on Touchsmart 610-1030uk

    Had been working fine for long time. Now out of warranty. Battery fine. Indicator on remote and on PC (white LED on front panel) both show IR is working. Mouse and keyboard still work fine. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers for Microsoft eHome infrared transceiver but still can't get the machine to respond to remote control. 
    Any thoughts?

    Hello frrw. Sorry to waste your time. I changed the batteries and it works fine. It seems the red LED on the remote and the white LED on the PC that flashes when I press a button on the remote do not mean that the batteries are strong enough. 
    Meanwhile I have that recurring problem with blu-ray players. I will post a new question and maybe you can help. 
    Many thanks. 

  • How can I close a remote front panel by closing only the browser window?

    I control a remote front panel in a browser (from the client PC). If I don't use the 'close' - button in my program to end the remote front panel, but instead of this the 'x' of the browser window (in the right bottom corner), my program won't be close, it continues on the server. Do you know how to end a VI by closing only the browser windows?
    Thanks for any help!
    wolfe

    I found the examples. Thanks.
    But I could not find a solution yet. Now I know how to end a VI by clicking on the x of the VIwindow.
    My problem is, to end a VI by clicking on the x of the BROWSER window after I loaded and controlled a remote panel VI in a browser (e.g. IE).
    If you have any ideas ... I'd be happy.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I am a newer about LabVIEW.How can I realize a remote control in a Web brower.

    "To transform your application into a remote laboratory, make sure the VI that you want to publish is loaded into LabVIEW memory. Next, select the Web Publishing Tool option from the Tools menu. This window is the main window for interactively creating and publishing your remote laboratory
    The Web publishing tool will automatically load in the Document Title and VI Name text fields. As the sample image in Figure 6 illustrates, the Document Title, Text 1, and Text 2 are all text fields that you can use to customize the Web page created with the publishing tool.
    The second step necessary to enable a remote laboratory is to select the Start Web Server button. When pressed, this button activates the built-in LabVIEW Web server, which will publish and control your front panel images from the Internet.
    Once the Web server is activated, the actual HTML document needs to be created and saved so it can be accessed remotely. Clicking on Save to Disk places an HTML file called Document Title.htm into the LabVIEW file folder called WWW by default. Saving your Remote Panels HTML documents into this folder will ensure that the LabVIEW Web server can find them. Either keep the default name, or assign a new name and save the file. Once saved, a new panel entitled Document URL pops up with a message box containing the URL address of your enabled LabVIEW application.
    Click on OK in the Document URL window and then click on Done in the Web Publishing Tool window. Your lab is now ready for remote visitors
    Required Software
    To operate a LabVIEW program using remote panels, it is necessary to have the free LabVIEW run-time engine installed on the client computer. When a remote viewer logs onto the lab with the appropriate URL address, the LabVIEW front panel will appear in the browser, or reroute the user to install the run-time engine from the National Instruments Web site.
    Application Control
    Once connected to the remote laboratory, the client connection will automatically be in a monitor state. If another client is controlling the remote laboratory, the user will be able to monitor the actions of the controlling client. To request control of the program, right click on the front panel and select Request Control. Once selected, one of two possible messages will appear. Either the user will be granted control (Control Granted), or the user will see a message indicating that control is currently granted to another user (Waiting for control: Either the server is locked or another client has control). If another client has control, the controlling client will be notified that control time has now become limited. Once the timeout occurs or the controlling client has released control, application control is automatically switched to the requesting client (Control Granted). Once the user has been granted control, all icons and controls will become active and running the LabVIEW application is exactly like running the application from the local environment.
    Releasing Control
    When the remote viewer either moves on to a different URL address or relinquishes control by right clicking and selecting (Release Control), or when the remote laboratory times out, the remote laboratory is available to the next visitor."
    The above is what I read from a text of ni.com,
    but I can not obtain the result.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi
    I don't see which LV version you are using. It's important to know, that you need the FDS or PDS package of LV 6.1 to work with remote control. This feature is not supported in the LV base package of LV 6.1.
    If you have LV 6.1 FDS or PDS, which of the described steps are not working?

  • Windows XP on Macbook Pro - Control Panel settings

    I've been a Windows user for years, and now find that I still require my Toshiba laptop on my desk beside my Macbook Pro.
    My problem today wih the MBP is problems while in Windows XP with the Control Panel. I continually reset the regional time zone settings, apply, and the computer resets back to its "own" region as soon as it is shutdown. The settings won't keep also if using screen savers, etc. in the Windows environment. I've looked through the questions in the forum, and this seems to be minor and of no problem to anyone else, but I am totally frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated!
    I also thought the infrared in the MBP which allows use of the remote, would also work in Windows. It does not which creates a problem for accessories that require infrared transmission which won't transmit on the MBP in either environment. Back to the old computer for that problem.
    Thanks.

    I would make sure that you have run the latest MacBook Pro Firmware upgrade from the apple support site
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html.
    This may fix certain issues with those settings not saving. Also try resetting the PRAM. From what I have been told the infrared port on the intel Macs only works with the Apple Remote.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make two PCs (one local, one remote) control the same running vi at the same time?

    Hi Labviewers,
    I have a vi running, and two PCs are monitoring it, one is local and another one is remote.
    I can see the remote front panel at the remote machine by using application property node, but it seems only one of the two PCs has the control of the running VI at the same time.
    Is there any way to make the two PCs both have the control of the same vi at the same time?  Switching back and forth the control between two PCs is really annoying.
    Thanks a lot for any help.
    Anne

    What exactly are you trying to control?
    Perhaps another approach? You could use "Shared Variables" from LV 8.0 and have a copy of the writer VI on each of the control PCs edit the value on the host PC. But as soon as I post, someone is going to talk about multiple writers to shared resources being a bad idea.... so just be careful or you may try to edit a value that has already been changed.

  • Design question ... Remote control and keyboard

    Hey i am building a system that should support remote control input and keyboard input
    the system is a addons based any user could build any addon he wishes
    i have now two main input events types
    KeyEventand
    RemoteControlEventi wish to use only one type of event
    i am thinking of 2 options.
    1) Map
    RemteControlEventto
    KeyEventif this why is the best what happens i a situation that i mapped J key to the RECORD button
    how a specific addon should know that a RECORD operation is pressed or it's just a J button
    2) Write a new events that contains
    KeyEventactions and
    RemteControlEventactions
    thanks allot

    thanks for your replay
    i am sharing my thoughts with you ,cause i relay want to do it the best way.
    when i mention remote control i meant using a TV/VCR/MCE Remote Control.
    (i am usingJLIRC ( LIRC ) )
    and i have decided .
    i will listen to all keyboard event using "dispatchKeyEvent"
    and will map Remote control keys to keyboard keys
    here is another question to make sure i understand fully .
    the application that i am writing is an add-on based
    every programmer that will like to create an add-on
    will extend the "Screen" object for is main panel (Screen exnteds JPanel)
    so i was thinking when dispatchKeyEvent called i should call dispatchKeyEvent in the current displayed screen
    (if the screen dispatchKeyEvent returns false.
    the main dispatchKeyEvent should continue.
    case true the main dispatchKeyEvent will return true)
    then in the screen implementation the user can ask if this key is an Spacial Key
    if yes he can get the spacial key attached to this keyboard key
    i just wrote an example of how it's suppose to be
    public MP3PLayer implemants Screen {
      public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e){
        boolean isSpeacial = RemoteComtrolKey.getInstance().isSpeacialKey(e.getKeyCode);
        if(isSpeacial){
            int mappedKey = RemoteComtrolKey.getInstance().getSpeacialKey(e.getKeycode());
            if(mappedKey  == RemoteComtrolKey.REC){
              //do the record
               return true;
        return false;

  • System design for remote control

    I just wonder which tech of ni I should use.
    My system is one data center and some remote DAQ site. The communication is through WAN.

    - send realtime data back for display
    - report the DAQ running status, such as online.
    - send history data from site pc to center database 
    there are many choice, such as tcp/ip, data socket server, shared varible, remote panel, remote vi server, web server.

But the laser is next door (~200-300 feet), and the PC which controls the laser also have the labview software to control the laser.

To start with I would be glad to find some reads or demonstrative examples or any suggestion which will head me to right direction.

    It would probably be a good idea to start a new message on this rather than continue in this message thread.  It seems to be a different situation you are asking about then what the original poster was doing.
    How does the PC communicate with the laser if it is close by?  Is it a serial connection? ethernet connection?  GPIB?  something else.  If it is serial, is it RS-232, RS-485, USB?   200-300 feet is too far for an RS-232 or USB connection.  But there are numerous products on the market that will adapt those serial protocols to either an RS-485 wiring setup, or put it out over an ethernet connection.  So you can go RS-232 to RS-485 on one end.  RS-485 goes to 4000 feet (depending on baud rate).  Then on the other end another adapter converts it back to RS-232.  I have also used a remote USB hub that connects to a LAN connection, and with driver software installed on the PC, it turns that remote connection into virtual serial port connections.
    These are good devices that have worked for me.  But if they would work for you all depends on how the PC connects to the laser now.

Maybe you are looking for
