Wireless deployment / distributed execution of graphical programs to smart sensors

摘要

System and method for deploying or executing a graphical program to a device in a wireless manner. A graphical program (GP) is created that implements a measurement function. Some or all of the GP is transmitted to a hub over a network. The hub executes the transmitted GP and sends corresponding commands to a measurement device via wireless means in accordance with a wireless communication protocol. The measurement device executes the commands to perform the measurement function, thereby generating resultant data, which is received from the measurement device via wireless means. The GP may include a block diagram that executes on the measurement device, and a user interface portion that is displayed by a first computer system. Transmitting the GP to the hub may include generating a machine-executable program based on the GP and transmitting the machine-executable program to the hub for execution.
