Web Publishing Tool Embedded Option Missing in LabVIEW

Issue Details

Using the Web Publishing Tool in LabVIEW, I cannot find the Embedded option to be able to control the VI using a web browser. How can I control a VI over our network?

Solution

Starting with LabVIEW 2022 Q2, the Web Publishing Tool no longer offers the option to control a VI in a web browser, so the Embedded option is not shown in the tool. This aligns with the deprecation of the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) and Internet Explorer, which were used in the Remote Front Panels.

The recommended alternative for a web based control is to use G Web Development Software, which is a programming environment that you can use to create web applications (WebVIs) for your test and measurement applications with graphical programming.

Additional Information

If you do not need to use a web browser to control the VI, you can establish a connection using the Connect to Remote Panel option in the LabVIEW Development Environment, this method does not require the use of the Web Publishing Tool as a web browser is not needed. This connection can also be made in the LabVIEW Runtime environment using the Remote Panel:Open Connection To Server method.
