Data Target
A data target is a location to which you want a DataSocket Writer to connect and write data. You specify a data target with a URL. Like URLs you use in a Web browser, the data target locator can point to many different types of sources depending on the prefix. The prefix is called the URL scheme. DataSocket supports several schemes:
- dstp: (DataSocket transfer protocol)
- ftp: (file transfer protocol)
- opc: (OLE for Process Control)
- fieldpoint:, logos:, lookout: (communication protocol for National Instruments FieldPoint modules, National Instruments LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module processes, and National Instruments Lookout processes)
- file: (local file servers)
