I have vi's (LabView 7.1) running on a PC(Win2k-SP4) controlling a rack of power supplies though a PCI-MXI-2/VXI interface. I would like to pass the current set values for those power supplies from a vi (LabView 7.1) running on another PC (Linux-2.6.8 Kernel).
I have tried the example vi's provided, Server-VIServer example.vi and Cient-VIServer Example.vi without success.
The sequence I tried went as follows...
on the Windows PC-
open Server vi
input the server's ip address
input the client's ip address
input the full path to a test vi (just adds two numbers)
run the server vi (runs with no errors)
on the Linux PC-
open the client vi
input the server's ip address
run the client vi
The output I get in the messages box is
Listing exported Server example VIs on "<ip address>"
and the vi stops. The server:station box remains empty
Should I see the server and test.vi listed?
And the big question is - How do I pass the test.vi a couple numbers to add and get the result on the Linux PC?
Thanks in advance for any help available
