Remote panel / Web server. II part ?

Hi all
There has been some activity about remote panels / web server in this forum.
Basically, NI documentation states LV run time, at least, must be intalled in client PC to use that feature.
In this link to post
a post from NI engenier Jeremy L. says that just to monitor a remote panel vi, NI soft is not necessary in the client PC. That option looks very interesting.
So, my questions are:
1- Somebody got to monitor a remote vi if LabView or run time is not installed in client PC.?
2- Can NI peo
ple clarify this option?
3- What is, if anything, the minimun NI soft required in client PC to monitor a remote vi front panel?
Thanks in advance

Well as I said for monitoring, NO NI software is necessary. For Remote
Control you basically need the lvrt.dll runtime and some supporting
files such as lvapp.rsc.
As the runtime gets more and more complex it is not a good idea to try
to install individual files. Eventhough the lvrt.dll contains up to now
all the code necessary to execute simple LabVIEW programs there is more
necessary to be able to for instance display the LabVIEW 6.x 3D controls
(all of the
models directory is then necessary) or in the case of the
web plugin I would assume the lvpng.dll and lvjpeg.dll will be also
necessary.
Also some registry settings have to be set so that the plugin or LabVIEW
application can find the appropriate runtime engine, unless you want to
copy all the necessary files into the same directory as your application.
In view of this I would not even consider getting a LabVIEW runtime
system onto a computer other than by adding it through the application
builder to my executable, or running the official NI runtime installer.

Programmalically disconect a user from Remote Panel Web Server

If a Web client is accessing to my Web Server for a long time, how can I Programmatically disconnet it?

Hi,
in LV 6.1 you can't progammatically disconnect a client that holds control of a remote vi panel.
But you can limit the time the client can hold control:
go on Tools\Options\Web Server:Visible Vis, here you have the control time limit which
specifies the amount of time in seconds a client is allowed to control a VI front panel in the Visible VIs list.

XFCE, possible to monitor remote dedicated web server? Conky et al?

Hi all,
I'm new to Arch, this is my 3rd day. I'm still actually fairly new to Linux, and haven't done a lot of customization, especially with desktop monitoring and status apps like conky and etc. I'm running Arch on a fairly old laptop, and I don't do a lot of performance hogging things, so I really have no interest in monitoring my local machine or displaying stats of my local machine on my desktop. But, if it were possible to somehow aggregate performance and stats from my remote webserver that would be fantastic.
Even if it's something as simple as uptime and cpu load averages or anything like that. Has anyone ever done any kind of remote server monitoring on the desktop and if so, what's the best program to install for that? I've never used conky before or any other, so before I invest a bunch of time in one, if it's not going to meet these particular needs, I'd rather get some direction from you guys.
as for my webserver, it is a dedicated web server running debian (Dreamhost), so I have full capability to install what I need to install on it in order to make the performance monitoring available, as long as whatever I need to install is secure. I only have ssh and ftp access to the server as far as I know.
Thanks! Looking forward to learning so much from this distro! So far I feel like I've dived into a magical swimming pool of knowledge absorption and my linux knowledge has almost doubled in two days. You guys rock!

ps: Here's my desktop - http://imgur.com/a/3TZE6

Conky has the ability to execute arbitrary commands and capture the output. Take a look at man conky and see the information on the exec command and friends.
Edit:
Oh, and welcome to Arch Linux

Remote Panel & client-server model

Hii..
I am working on image processing. I have developed a VI and web published it, It was working well. But, I was unable to give my own input image from remote panel. I can give various inputs which are kept in library only. But, I could not upload my own input image.
For that purpose, i created Client- Server model. This is not web publishing. Client VI will have same front panel as Server VI. Using this model, i can give my own input image. Whatever input and controls in Client VI will be sent to server VI using shared variable. I tested it on LAN connection, it was working well.
But, when I run through internet, it became very slow...... There may be two reasons 1. Bandwidth for our public IP is less and 2. slow internet connection..
Are there any other ways to speed up the Client-Server model.............
As compared to remote panel, Client-Server model on internet is very slow.......
Give me ur suggestions, ideas to speed up this model..
thanks

Hola
Si puedes monitorear/controlar un ejecutable en remoto.
Te adjunto algunos enlaces del foro de NI sobre la materia.
You need start the web server to have access at your executable, see below links with information about this :

You can use cos.jar provided by O'Reilly from http://www.servlets.com/cos/. Take a look at com.oreilly.servlet.multipart.* classes.
Package is provided with source, classes, documentation and, of course, ready-to-use jar file.
It is really usefull and - ready!

File Dialog's using Remote Panels (via web server)

I am aware that the web server remote panel access will not allow us to open a file dialog box on a remote computer. I have read people comment that you should create your own file dialog box, using LabVIEW to use instead of the file dialog box.
Has anyone actually done this? I would like know if anybody has source code for this, rather than re-inventing the wheel. Also, will the sub-vi actually just appear on the webserver? i.e. will it actually work?
Thanks for any help
Slade

Hi Emilie,
I have a program that I run on an industrial PC, with no keyboard, video or mouse. We currently control the application using the web server. We have a button to load and a button to save settings. If the files are missing for the load & save, it pops up a file open dialog to choose the file to import. However, while we are viewing the page this way, these dialog boxes do not work.
I would like to know if anyone has made up a file dialog box that I could use, that would display correctly in the web server's remote control.
Regards,
Slade

Invalid server IP address for Remote Panels under LV 8.0.1

The other messages for troubleshooting the "invalid server IP address" were very helpful with getting my EXE to operate as a remote panel. But there is still one issue that I cannot resolve that seems to be caused by the 8.0.1 upgrade.
The remote panel work perfectly using IE6 on a computer that has the LV 8.0.1 FDS or PDS installed. When I use a computer that has LV 7.1 or no LV at all, the invalid server IP address appears inside the border of where the VI should appear on the HTML page. The connection to the remote computer is correct, the HTML file is delivered by the web server in LV, but the panel part of the page returns the error.
Does the part of the HTML that loads the Run Time Engine need to be updated for 8.0.1? Will the LV 8.0 RTE work for a remote panel on an EXE compiled for LV 8.0.1?
The code is:
var obj = '<OBJECT ID="LabVIEWControl" CLASSID="CLSID:A40B0AD4-B50E-4E58-8A1D-8544233807AD" WIDTH=1216 HEIGHT=915 CODEBASE="ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/8.0';
if (lng.indexOf("fr") != -1) { obj = obj + '/French'; }
else if (lng.indexOf("de") != -1) { obj = obj + '/German'; }
else if (lng.indexOf("ja") != -1) { obj = obj + '/Japanese'; }
obj = obj + '/LVRunTimeEng.exe">';

Thanks for the suggestion, Tunde. After further experimentation, it seems that 8.0.1 was not the problem. I worked perfectly when I removed the <parameter server=... > line that I added manually.

Server does not support remote panels

I am developing an online laboratory setup and hence am using a client server model..the client VI being accessed by remote users online. I have done all the necessary steps using Web Publishing tool and the configuration set up. I have also tested the VI previously online. Suddenly now when I hit the URL for the VI the panel does not load...it says Server does not support remote panels. What could be the problem?

Publishing front panels with web server

Hello,
I'm working with LabView 7.1 and trying to publish a front panel by means of the web server.
The problem is that I'm only able to connect to the VI through the internet when both , the host and the remote are networked.
When I try with computers outside that network the browser doesn't find the webpage.
Thank you for your help
Lian

You need to know:
The public IP of your router.
The private IP of your LabVIEW server.
The port used by your server.
First you need to forward the port on your router. Basically, you need to tell the router that incoming NEW connections to a certain port of the public IP of the router should get forwarded your server. (Without forwarding, the router only works for outgoing connections). Once the port is forwarded, clients located on the outside need to connect to the public IP of your router.
Possible complications:
Your ISP might block certain incoming ports for security reasons. In this case you can configure a different port for the server.
With some routers you will not be able to connect to your server (for testing) with a client located on the same LAN via the public IP of the router. Only routers that incorporate a loopback proxy support this. What is the brand and model of your router?
Good luck!

Viewing web pages from remote panel error

I used an activex container and put the web browser object into it. Next thing I knew, everytime I would open that vi's remote panel via the web server, iexplorer crashes. What gives?
Grub
Hell, there are no rules here...we're trying to accomplish something!!! - Thomas Edison

Grub,
How is Internet Explorer crashing? Does it stop responding, or
give an error? Does the LabVIEW program have any errors on the
host computer? I did find a KB that talks about the limitations
of remote front panels, and it mentions that ActiveX will not work, but
does not say anything about crashing Internet Explorer.
Check out the KB

Remote panel invalid ip server

hi i´m trying to control a remote panel from other computer using internet, when i open from my computer i works well. when i open from other computer it opens the page but is shows a message"invalid ip server". i put the code generate to view the front panel.

Text that is going to be displayed after the image of the VI Panel.

Hi Syd_b;
The error you are receiving is probably being generated because the LabVIEW Web Server is not enabled in your machine, in this link there is a document that explains how to enable it for other PCs to have acces to the content you are publishing.
I hope the information is useful.

What are the network requirements for the Remote Panel Server?

What are the network requirements for the Remote Panel Server?
I've been trying for a while now to setup a Remote Panel. I can connect to my computers remote panel from other computers on my LAN but nowhere else.
When ever I use the web publishing tool it gives me a URL in this format: http://Computer-Name.Corporate-Name.local:8086/VI-Name.html Apparently this means I have a local DNS server and this URL has no meaning from the public.
When I try connecting with the Operate>>Connect to Remote Panel..., I get this error message:
"Connecting to remote panel server...
Remote panel connection refused by specified server: Make sure LabVIEW Web Server is enabled on specified server"
I got the same error when I tried to host a remote panel from my laptop at home, on my Wi-Fi. Is there some network or firewall setting I'm not seting? Could it be my server or router or private network?
My goal is to be able to host Remote Panels from my laptop while I am travailing internationally, by using 4G mobile internet. Is that even passable?
Solved!

Web server and remote vi trouble

Hi to all,
after reading this :
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvhowto/embed_vi_in_html_doc/
Seem possible to have a Central Labview Web server where all Html pages are stored, each page have an object that point to a remote VI (located on a remote machine).
I tried to set up the parameters in HTML OBJECT as described, but don't work.
In red is the code that i have added/modified
<PARAM name="LVFPPVINAME" value="test.vi">
<PARAM name="IPADDRESS" value="http://192.168.1.100">
<EMBED src="http://192.168.1.100/.LV_FrontPanelProtocol.rpvi82"

TYPE="application/x-labviewrpvi82" WIDTH=x HEIGHT=x
PLUGINSPAGE="http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/express?openagent&code=ex3e33&"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Any suggestion?
Both my computer have LabVIEW Professional Development System 8.2
Thanks

Hi,
the dev zone document says that if you already have an HTML document, you can embed a VI in the HTML document so a client computer can view and control the front panel of the VI in a browser. It doesn't speak about store multiple html pages in web server. So maybe you are not refering to the right document. I don't think that you can manage multiple html pages from LabVIEW.

Server does not support remote panels, server overwhelmed

After an unknown amount of connections to remote panels, I recieve the "server does not support remote panels" error. Often times it will further say server is overwhelmed. It seems like sometimes we can have almost 100 succesful connections without the error and sometimes just only 10.
Ive combed over all other similar posts regarding this error and most others seem to have an issue with the initial connection, not after numerous succesful connections.
This error can be resolved by restarting labview; however, restarting means interupting some physical processes that are running in our warehouse. Is there a way to locate and empty this log that appears to be overwhelming the server?

Thanks for the reply.
Using Labview 2013 Full Development on windows server 2008. IO communication done through compact field point modules. All remote computers used to access remote VIs have been loaded with the correct runtime engine. The issue seems to happen on the server end because once it happens, all remote computers get the same message, instead of one isolated computer having an issue.
There doesn't really seem to be a pattern to this error occuring(to my knowledge). Sometimes we can go a week or two without seeing it, other times, a few days. We upgraded to labview 2013 and the new server almost a year ago. This error didn't start happening until after about 4 or so months of use.
I came across this knowledgebase earlier this week and have verified that all of our settings are correct.
Thanks again for the reply!
