VIremote
Control your Virtual Instruments from your iPhone/iPod/iPad.
You can't write LabVIEW code for iOS but you can use this app to control your VIs. All that is needed is a small VI running in the background.
Currently the following outputs are supported:
Keyboard (only standard ASCII US keyboard,not local symbols)
Touch (mouse movement and left button)
Multi-touch (programatic use)
Accelerometer
User Interface orientation
Dialog
Picker (select values from a combo box)
Info and status of the device (Name UDID etc.)
Sound
You can also send Notifications to the user while the app is connected and running in the background.
If you make your VIs reentrant you can connect multiple devices. Front Panels doesn't need to be visible.
VIs, examples and more info can be found at: www.throwlab.com.
Tested on LabVIEW 8.6/2010 on Windows XP and Vista and on Mac with LabVIEW 2011.
Requires iOS 3.2 or later.
