viServer - problem with LV instances

[DaveX]

Hi all,

When I tried to run following vi - NI viServer example - in project (not main LV instance), the example didn't work. Everything is fine if I run it in the main LV instance.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\viserver\server.llb\Server - VIServer Example.vi

Is it possible to work (set, run, etc.) in project with viServer? Or viServer has to run in main LV instance only?

LV: 8.6

OS: Windows

Thanks for a help!

What doesn't work?

VI server works perfectly fine in projects, but each project is considered a separate "application", so you have to use the Open Application Reference primitive and use a different port for each project (through the project properties) if you want to communicate between objects.

I didn't look at the example, but I'm assuming this is the source of your problems.

I'd love to having viServer working in projects, but

I'd love to having viServer working in projects, but

Right click on "My Computer" in the project, and enable VI server TCP access (and set another port that 3363 since that is probably in use).
