LabVIEW Web Service is an identifier used by Service VIs to access information about the current Web service. LabVIEW Web Service works similarly to a refnum in LabVIEW, allowing you to wire together Service VIs within your application. You can also wire LabVIEW Web Service Request to this input, as LabVIEW Web Service Request inherits from LabVIEW Web Service. When you use Service VI(s) within a startup VI, you must assign the control wired to the original LabVIEW Web Service input to the connector pane for the Service VI(s) to function. |
