Connecting to SystemLink Cloud from LabVIEW NXG Web Module

Connect your web application to SystemLink Cloud to transfer data or send messages.

Before you can connect your WebVI to SystemLink Cloud, you need to create and save an API key.

1. Launch LabVIEW NXG Web Module.
2. In the Projects tab, click Web Application Project to create an application that can run in a web browser.
3. Enter a name for the web application and click Create.
4. In the webVI, go to the diagram.
5. From the palette, select Data Communications» SystemLink» Configuration .
   

   Note

   If you use LabVIEW NXG 2.1 Web Module, select Data Communications» Skyline» Open Configuration to find the Open Configuration node.

6. Add the Open Configuration node to the diagram.
7. In the Function configuration drop-down, select API Key configuration of the node. The node now appears as the Open Configuration (API Key) node.
8. Enter https://api.systemlinkcloud.com/ as the server url.
   
9. Specify the API key you created and saved earlier as the api key.
   The SystemLink Cloud server authenticates your application on your local machine with an API key you provide.
   

   Tip

   Create a new API key if you forgot to copy or save the API key when you created it.

After you execute the code, you can securely exchange data over HTTPS.
