lEver wanted to communicate with VI which are across context boundaries? Those typical boundaries, are different LabVIEW project LabVIEW into LabVIEW EXE, EXE to EXE PC to PC across a network or even the internet Usually to get around these boundaries, we have to flatten to some easier transport mechanism like a string and then unflatten on the other end. There are a whole other host of situations and and reasons why cross context boundary communication is useful and not just a simple slam dunk using existing primitives in LabVIEW REx (Remote Export Framework) is a useful framework that you can take advantage of to eliminate the typical boundaries Instead of spend 45 minutes trying to describe it, see the linked videos below, (also in the PPT) until more written content gets made.
