Overview
Virtual instrumentation, virtually anywhere
- Control LabVIEW applications from any Web browser
- Use LabVIEW with CGI, Java, Activex, and DataSocket
Learn how to apply the latest Internet technologies to bring LabVIEW to life on the Internet or inside your organization's intranet. You can create networked virtual instrumentation systems that are available wherever and whenever you need them. Whether you need to monitor your Virtual Instruments (VIs) over the Web, or create a remote control system through your LAN, you will find the tools and techniques to create networked applications in this book.
Review the basics of the Internet and its key applications from the viewpoint of LabVIEW, then learn to set up secure client-server applications. Hands-on examples and activities are given throughout the book.
Internet Applications in LabVIEW is the first book that specifically combines Internet technologies with LabVIEW know-how. Use these powerful tools to enhance collaboration and keep pace with today's decentralized computing environments. Now you can have LabVIEW everywhere!
