Select Operate»Connect to Remote Panel to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to view a front panel remotely using LabVIEW.

This dialog box includes the following components:

Option Description
Server address

IP address of the server. You also can enter the computer name.
VI name

Name of the VI on the server to which you want to connect. To specify a VI that is part of a LabVIEW project, you must include the project name, the project library, and the target in the path of the VI, when applicable. For example, if MyVI.vi resides in a project called MyProject.lvproj under target My Computer, enter the VI name as MyProject.lvproj/My Computer/MyVI.vi. If the VI resides in a project library called MyLibrary, also include the project library in the path, as in MyProject.lvproj/My Computer/MyLibrary.lvlib:MyVI.vi. If the VI is not in a project or project library, you can enter the VI name without any additional information.
Port

HTTP port where the server is located. The default is 80.
Request control

Requests control of the front panel immediately after opening a connection to the server. The server queues the request if another client currently controls the front panel.
Connection status

Displays progress information and reports connection errors.

Note If LabVIEW refuses the connection when trying to connect to a VI, review the errors when connecting to remote front panels.

You also can use the Remote Panel Open Connection to Server method to display the remote front panel of a VI programmatically.
