LIMITATIONS of CGI VIs and G webserver

[Muhammad Jawad]

Please tell me the limitation og CGI vi and Gweb server regarding with Labview 8.2 , FP2010 and multiuser environment that how multiuser extract or use form simultaneously.

The G web server does not support CGI on RT targets such as the FP2010, as described here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/37...unsupportedets/. You may want to look into the new Web Services features available in LabVIEW 8.6.

Hi Ned,

what about the Web Server shipped with the Internet Toolkit used instead of the G Web Server integrated into the LabView RunTime?

If I well remember, this software was implemented in pure G and the CGI mechanism was achived using the dinamic call of CGI VIs via VI Server... considering some little issues on using it in compiled applications, why it should not run on RT targets?

It probably would run but will be quite a hog on the system. It's implementation from LabVIew 5.0 days was not bad for the tools and techniques available back then but it was definitly not written to be a concise application for resource constrained systems. On the other hand the PCs from those days had often less resources available than even the smaller real time targets nowadays, so it could still work well.
