## Overview

This is a LabVIEW example of a cRIO-hosted Remote Panel server and a PC client. The documented workflow is for a user to open a cRIO VI’s front panel remotely and interact with the running cRIO application. The tree also contains RT support VIs and state controls, but no source excerpts explain their roles or connections, so they are shown without inferred call relationships. The README documents the client/server interaction; implementation details remain unverified.

Main entry points: [`PC/Main Remote Panel UI.vi`](https://github.com/joevonarx/labview-remote-panels/blob/main/PC/Main%20Remote%20Panel%20UI.vi) (Remote panel client), [`RT/Main RT.vi`](https://github.com/joevonarx/labview-remote-panels/blob/main/RT/Main%20RT.vi) (RT application)
