Work with EthoVision XT remotely
Aim
You can use utilities like TightVNC or TeamViewer to control EthoVision XT fully remotely.
Prerequisites
▪When using a hardware key, remember to leave the hardware key plugged in the EthoVision XT computer before you leave work if you need to acquire data (i.e., do tracking). However, if you only need to do post-acquisition data analysis and export, you do not need to leave the hardware key inserted. This may actually free up the hardware key to be inserted in another computer at work running EthoVision XT so another user can use it for data acquisition. See EthoVision XT in analysis mode
▪When using a software license, make sure that the license on the EthoVision XT computer is active. See Activate your EthoVision XT license
