The PicoLog IP socket facility is used to take measurements on one or more computers, and record the data on another computer.
The measurements are taken by PicoLog on the Server. Another computer, the Client, requests the data via an IP network.
On the server:
| 2. | Right-click My Computer |
| 4. | Windows XP: Click Computer Name and note the name listed after "Full computer name" |
| 5. | Windows Vista: Note the name listed after "Computer name" |
On the client:
| 1. | Open a command box (click Start button, click Run..., type cmd) |
| 2. | Type ping followed by the server name |
| 3. | The computer will display the time taken to send a message to the server and receive a response |
| 4. | Check that it is working and note the time |
