Monitoring and Configuring a Remote Device from a Web Browser

After you install NI Web-Based Monitoring and Configuration on a remote device, such as an RT target, you can use a Web browser to monitor and configure the device.

Use the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to determine whether NI Web-Based Monitoring and Configuration is installed on an RT target and to install the software if necessary.

2. Enter Admin in the User name field.
