VIs can communicate, or network, with other processes, including those that run on other applications or on remote computers. Use the networking features in LabVIEW to perform the following tasks:

• Share live data with other VIs running on a network using shared variables.
• Publish front panel images and VI documentation on the Web.
• Email data from VIs.
• Build VIs that communicate with other applications and VIs through low-level protocols, such as TCP, UDP, Apple events, and PPC Toolbox.
