VI Server

The VI Server is a means to programmatically control front panel objects, VIs, and even LabVIEW itself, and to dynamically load, edit, run and document VIs. And all this functionality is provided on the local machine as well as across the network - whereever the remote machine is located.
In order to create a VI Server session, one has to open an Application Reference to remote computers and a VI Reference [VI-Ref] on the desired computer. With that VI-Ref one can perform actions with the VI like setting or retrieving control values, running it or setting and retrieving the VIs properties.
