Hi all,
I've spent some time trying to figure out the best way to do this and have a couple of LabVIEW related questions. The overall goal is to write two LabVIEW VI's, make one a .exe and place it on another computer that doesn't have LabVIEW installed. The original computer with LabVIEW installed (Local) and the second computer (Remote) are on the same LAN.
I think I can create the VI's in such a way that:
1) The user inputs parameters onto the Local VI
2) The local VI sends data/commands to the Remote .exe
3) The Remote .exe performs a function based on what it receives and sends data/commands back to the Local VI
4) The Local VI performs a function based on what it receives (which may include repeating step 2)
The thing I'm struggling with is how to get the two pc's, and their respective VI/.exe, to communicate. I believe, based on what I've read, each program must have a set of LISTEN/READ and CONNECT/SEND, but I'm not sure how to implement this.
Let me know what you think. I'll be actively monitoring this post.
