UNC file names provide the primary means for specifying the location of a file or directory in a networked environment. In LabVIEW, you can enter and view UNC file names in path controls, indicators, constants, and the file name box in the file dialog box. UNC file names use the following path form.
\\<machine>\<share name>\<dir>\...\<file or dir>
where <machine> is the name of the computer that you want to access on the network, <share name> is the name of a shared drive on that machine, <dir>\... consists of the name of the directory and subdirectories in which you want to store the file, and <file> consists of the name that you want to call the file.
