Ethernet Control of PXI
Network System Controller
Remote Control of Measurement Systems
You can use the Network System Controller as a remote
measurement system controlled via Ethernet. Using the Network
System Controller, you can control data acquisition or instrument
stations that are on your desktop, in remote regions, or in
inaccessible and hazardous areas. LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time
easily enable the network control of remote measurement stations.
LabVIEW Remote Panels can be used to view and control any
running VI over a network without additional programming. Also, you
can use LabVIEW VI server to programmaticallly control VIs on a
remote measurement station from a client PC.
