Bergmans Mechatronics’ “LabSockets” system enables LabVIEW applications to be monitored and controlled from a desktop or mobile web browser (including the Safari browser for iPhone and iPad), without browser plug-ins. The system employs the new WebSocket interface standard which enables continuous, bi-directional communications between web browsers and servers. Included in the presentation are i) the limitations of current techniques for remote access to LabVIEW applications; ii) an introduction to WebSockets; and, iii) an overview of the structure and operation of the LabSocket system. A video of the system in action is available here http://screencast.com/t/eKuQ02PAdo . Please contact John Bergmans (jbergmans<at>bergmans.com) if you'd like to try using LabSockets with your application.
