Publishing VI Front Panels on the Web

Use the LabVIEW Web Server to publish images of your VI front panels on the Web. By default, after you enable the Web Server all VIs are visible to all Web browsers. However, you can control browser access to the published front panels and configure which VIs are visible on the Web. To display VI front panels on the Web, the VIs must be in memory on your computer.

Note  Use the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset to control VIs on the Web and to add more security features to VIs you publish on the Web. Refer to the National Instruments Web site for more information about this toolset.

Use the Web Publishing Tool to create an HTML document and embed static or animated images of the front panel. You also can embed images of the front panel in an existing HTML document.

Note  The front panel of the VI that you want to publish may be large. It takes the Web Server longer to create a large image which can slow the execution of the VI. Also, a large image takes a significant amount of time to transmit to the browser, especially over a slow modem connection. Therefore, make sure the front panels of VIs that you want to publish are a reasonable size.
