HTML file

[jackky]

Hi everyone. I have completed my labview program and now I am requested to convert the file into HTML file.

I would like to ask for help. What Is HTML and how can I convert it ?

Hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks .

Hi @jackky, a HTML file contains source code for a web page: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp

 

Who asked you to convert your LabVIEW program to HTML? Why do they want this? (the reason is important, because it affects how you should proceed)

You can "Print" VI documentation to html.

HI @JKSH , my project is about remote lab, need to remote my laboratory equipment through internet, so my supervisor asked me to convert my completed vi program to HTML file so that I can connect and control through internet. How should I do this??

You have two options:

1. Create a LabVIEW Remote Panel: http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4791/en/http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4791/en/ , OR
2. Set up a Windows Remote Desktop connection, to let your supervisor log into your PC: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/connect-using-remote-desktop-connection#connect-using-remote-desktop-connection=windows-7

 

Option #1 is more secure.

 

Note: Option #2 doesn't use a HTML file, while Option #1 does. However, you don't convert your program into HTML. Instead, you create a HTML file to let your supervisor control your LabVIEW program through the Internet. You must still run your LabVIEW program on your local PC.

Is the web publish tool only can publish the source vi ?   Can I publish the vi that in the EXE?  I want the exe is running and I can use the web brower to watch or control the interface. How to do this please?

[hooovahh]

Web publishing does work in an EXE, but has many limitations and requires silverlight which is deprecated and only is supported in IE among other limitations.

There are many 3rd party solutions for controlling a VI from a web page, and a couple 1st party that have issues.

My personal favorite is this one, which the source is fully available.
