Need direct dialup to LV8 .exe, or data on remote

[fbrandeber]

I am working on a LV runtime system to monitor a remote device with only a phone line to access it. I would be particularly interested is examples of doing dialup in a LV8 pro generated runtime program... and the answering code. Currently all my user seems to want is to look at the LV8 screen remotely, speed does not seem to be a big issue. I have not done any remote communication with LV before. Currently this is expected to be done exclusively on Windows machines, so platform is specific. I would like to use the modem built into the machines used. The remote machine is expected to be a newly purchased laptop which I now have.

ALternate ideas using dialup would also be appreciated, such as just accessing a data file. I am fishing here, because my skimming of this board and other sources has so far produced very little. Examples would be most appreciated !

Best regards,

Fred

Your easiest option by far is not to do it in LabVIEW at all - install a server OS on the PC your want to accept incoming connections, dial into it as normal and then use remote desktop. Personally, I'd leave LabVIEW out of it.

You might look at something like pcAnywhere which used to work with dialup connections, at least back in version 9 or so. I don't have version 12, which is what is avaliable, but it is worth checking out.

Yep, Version 12 of pcanywhere DOES work with dialup.

NI provides example code for sending a file over a modem from a FieldPoint unit, and the same code should run without major modifications on a PC. If simply having remote access to a data file is sufficient for you this might work.
