File Transfer Capability
When running on a cFP-21
xx
, the Real-Time Engine has a File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) server. The FTP server gives you the ability to use any
standard FTP utility for transferring files to and from the hard drive of the
cFP-21
xx
. You must provide the correct password when opening a
connection to the cFP-21
xx
if the configuration is locked in MAX.
For programmatic file transfer control in LabVIEW or LabVIEW
Real-Time, use the Internet Developers Toolkit, included in the LabVIEW
Enterprise Connectivity Toolset. Refer to
ni.com
for more information
about the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset.
Note
Contact NI to determine whether the version of the toolkit you are using can be
downloaded onto the cFP-21
xx
.
Remote Front Panels
You may need to monitor and control an embedded VI remotely. The
cFP-21
xx
supports multiple remote front panels for embedded VIs. Users
can view the remote front panel using either LabVIEW or a Web browser.
Users accessing the remote front panels with a Web browser need to have
either Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 or later, or Netscape 4.7 or later.
If you plan to use remote front panels to control the VI, keep the front panel
simple and do not use property nodes. Complex front panels can cause
slight control latency when users operate them remotely. Users cannot
programmatically change the value of a control remotely.
The cFP-2100 can support up to five remote connections, and the cFP-2110
and cFP-2120 can support 20.
