SRS Residual Gas Analyzer

Open and run SRS RGA LabVIEW by selecting the main VI from the library.
Perform the scan you wish to publish on the web, then stop the scan and exit the main program.
The front panel for both the main VI and the scanning VI remain open. In this example, we will use an
analog scan, and SRSRGAa Analog.VI
From the front panel toolbar of SRSRGAa Analog.vi, select Tools, then Web Publishing Tool.
The web publishing tool creates a hypertext markup language (HTML) file that will reside on the
computer on which the VI is run. The web server within LabVIEW 6i will serve this page and embed a
Joint Picture Experts Group (JPEG) format picture of the running VI in this file. If you select an
““animated”” VI, the server will update this picture repeatedly to give the appearance of a ““movie”” of your
running VI. At the time of writing
only Netscape browsers support this kind of automatic updating. Bear
in mind that if you only want a snapshot of how your vacuum system is doing, an animated web page is
not required, and any web browser supports this kind of static web page.
Notice that the button ““Start Web Server”” is grayed out. This is what you should see if you have been
successful in enabling LabVIEW 6i’’s web server. (Once enabled, the web server does not need to be
started, and that is why the button is grayed out.)
Change the Document Title, Text 1, and Text 2 to any label you wish. (If you want to further embellish
your web page, you can always edit the file using your favorite web publishing tool once you select ““Save
to Disk””.)
Click the ““Save to Disk”” button, and select where you wish to save the HTML file. Use the default
directory location if possible.
