National Instruments recommends you use the Web Publishing Tool to create an HTML document and embed VIs so a client computer can view and control the front panel of the VI in a Web browser.
However, if you already have an HTML document, use the following syntax to embed a VI in the HTML document so a client computer can view and control the front panel of the VI in a browser. Include the parameter in brackets [ ] if the VI you want clients to view and control is located on a remote computer. Refer to Syntax Examples for examples of embedding VIs in HTML documents.
![]() |
Note If your clients access the VIs using the LabVIEW ActiveX Control you need only to include the <OBJECT> tag information. If they access the VIs using the Netscape plug-in, you need only to include the <EMBED> tag information. However, to best support all potential clients with various configurations, you should include both the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags. This makes sure all clients can access the VIs remotely using a browser. |
<OBJECT ID="LabVIEWControl" CLASSID="CLSID:A40B0AD4-B50E-4E58-8A1D-8544233807AA" WIDTH=x HEIGHT=x>
<PARAM name="LVFPPVINAME" value=VI_NAME>
[<PARAM name="server" value=COMPUTER_NAME or IPADDRESS>]
<EMBED SRC=".LV_FrontPanelProtocol.rpvi" LVFPPVINAME=VI_NAME TYPE="application/x-labviewrpvi" WIDTH=x HEIGHT=x></EMBED></OBJECT>
The following list describes the parameters you must configure.
OBJECT WIDTH | Width of the front panel in pixels. |
OBJECT HEIGHT | Height of the front panel in pixels. |
VI_NAME | The name of the VI, such as Example.vi. |
COMPUTER_NAME or IPADDRESS | If the VI is located on a remote computer, you must supply the domain name of the computer, such as http://foo or the IP address of the computer, such as http://130.164.76.753. |
EMBED SRC | If the VI is located on the local computer, set this parameter to .LV_FrontPanelProtocol.rpvi. If it is located on a remote computer accessible through the computer name, set the parameter to http://foo/.LV_FrontPanelProtocol.rpvi, where foo is the computer name. If it is accessible through the IP address, set the parameter to http://IPADDRESS/.LV_FrontPanelProtocol.rpvi, where IPADDRESS is the IP address. |
VI_NAME | The name of the VI, such as Example.vi. |
EMBED WIDTH | Width of the front panel in pixels. |
EMBED HEIGHT | Height of the front panel in pixels. |
