Overview
The Network System Controller is ideal for Ethernet-based
measurement systems that are controlled remotely, publish data, or
are accessed over a network from one or more desktop or laptop
PCs. With National Instruments PXI Network System Controllers,
you can use standard Ethernet-based network technology to easily
create simple point-to-point measurement applications or
distributed measurement applications requiring multiple
measurement and control nodes. The Network System Controllers
consist of PXI embedded controllers with LabVIEW or LabVIEW
Real-Time software. LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time have
built-in functionality for easily building and deploying networked
measurement applications.

Web-enabling technologies for your
applications with advanced Internet requirements. You can view
and control your measurement application using the Internet from
any location in the world. Using a Network System Controller, you
can publish data on the Web easily. The DataSocket capability in
LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time enables you to
communicate with different servers such as HTTP, FTP,
OPC, and the DataSocket server. You can send data to
another computer or PXI controller on a network or
currently acquired data on another measurement node.
You can publish your data anywhere in the world using
the Network System Controller.

amount of processing power, you can divide your
measurement system among several PXI embedded
controllers. The VI Server capability in LabVIEW
ensures easy implementation of distributed systems.
Using LabVIEW or LabVIEW Real-Time, you can create
applications that can run independently in each PXI
node, or as a part of an integrated network solution.
