Chapter 2 New Features in LabVIEW 5.1
©
National Instruments Corporation 2-53 LabVIEW 5.1 Addendum
Table 2-9 describes the available options.
Each entry in the Visible VIs list describes a VI name or a VI path and
might contain wildcard characters. Entries that contain path separators are
compared against VI paths, while entries that do not contain path separators
are compared against VI names only.
When a web browser attempts to obtain a VI front panel image, the server
examines the Visible VIs list to determine if it should grant access to the
requested VI’s image. If an entry in the list matches the requested VI, the
Web Server either permits or denies access to that VI’s image, based on
Table 2-9. Web Server Visible VIs Dialog Box Options

be seen, a check mark appears next to its name. If
an entry denies such access, an X appears next to its
name. If no symbol appears next to the entry, the
entry’s syntax is incorrect.
