What Is the VI Server?Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Full Development System Primary Software Version: 1.0 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A Problem: What is the VI Server? Solution: VI Server, introduced in LabVIEW 5.0, is a set of functions that allows you to dynamically control front panel objects, VIs, and the LabVIEW environment. With VI Server, you can also programmatically load and run VIs and LabVIEW either on the same machine or across a network. The VI Server functions are located in the Functions»Application Control sub-palette. All VIs have properties that can be read or set and methods that can be invoked using these VI Server functions. VI Server replaces the VI Control VIs of LabVIEW 4.x. VI Server has an object-oriented architecture that is platform-independent. Each object that is a part of VI Server is a part of a class. The class that the object is a part of determines what properties and methods are available. For example, there is a control class and a VI class. Each class will have different properties that will apply to either a control or a VI, depending on the class they are in. There are also sub-classes for the control class where the objects are defined by what data type they are. For example, there are boolean and array sub-classes. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information about VI Server.
