Description
The Internet has opened many new opportunities and uses for personal computers and workstations across every industry and application area. Scientists and engineers are finding that important functions can be performed across the Internet, such as research, publishing conclusions, displaying data across the Web, archiving source code versions, and scheduling for test development teams. In addition to taking advantage of the Internet, virtual instruments are addressing remote or distributed applications more and more. Using the National Instruments LabVIEW Internet Developers Toolkit, you can easily incorporate a variety of electronic communications capabilities, such as XML, CGI, and FTP transfers into your virtual instrumentation applications. Read, write, and parse XML documents with a cross-platform DOM parser Send files or raw data to an FTP server Build Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs in LabVIEW to perform server operations Respond to user input and create custom Web pages from within your application View your virtual instruments across the Internet from a Web browser
