remote computer. See the Visual Basic documentation for more information.
In LabVIEW, the Automation Open VI contains a Machine Name input terminal where
you can specify the remote computer. See the LabVIEW documentation for more
information.
9.4.2 If you have a problem
Start simple. Don’t try to do everything in the first shot. Start with a test application that
simply creates a LBA-PC ActiveX server object. On the LBA-PC computer you will briefly see a
small window appear then disappear when the LBA-PC ActiveX server object is created.
Verify all the DCOM settings on both computers. Make sure you check both the default
settings and the LBA-PC ActiveX server specific settings.
Reboot both computers after configuring DCOM on each computer.
Minimize network problems. Remove all network protocols from both computers except one
and try again.
