- Finding Data from DIAdem and LabVIEW Clients
Connect client software, such as DIAdem or LabVIEW, to a DataFinder instance on SystemLink Server to browse and search in the data of this instance. To do so, save the connection parameters in a client configuration file ( .urf ) and enable the connection on the client computer.
- Creating a Federation of Multiple DataFinder Instances
Use Federations to access data from multiple DataFinder instances with a single search query. A Federation groups multiple DataFinder instances from the SystemLink or distributed servers and combines their search results.
