How to Run the LabSSH Demo Application

LabSSH includes a demo application which showcases all the capabilities of the toolkit.

1. Navigate to Demo Folder

Find the folder where the demo app resides.

This can be done in two ways:

1.1. Navigate to Demo App via Start Menu

LabSSH installs a shortcut to open the containing folder of the demo application.

Open the Start menu, then navigate to

All Programs -> Labwerx -> labSSH -> Examples for LabVIEW 20yy [xx-bit]

where yy refers to the LabVIEW year, and xx may be 32 or 64.

1.2 Navigate to Demo App Directly

Alternatively, you may navigate directly to the example folder using Windows Explorer. The location is <vi.lib>\Labwerx\labSSH\Examples, where <vi.lib> refers to the vi.lib LabVIEW installation folder, e.g.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\vi.lib

2. Open labSSH Demo.vi

The main demo application is labSSH Demo.vi. Open this and run the VI.

3. Using the Demo Application

Each control within the demo application is documented within the LabVIEW context help system.

To open the LabVIEW context help window, press <Ctrl-H>. Then, you’ll be able to hover over any control in the application to learn more about it.
