PicoLog has built-in support for transferring data over an IP network. One computer supplies the data and is referred to as the server. The other computer (referred to as the client) receives data from the server and displays the measurements as if they were collected locally. A server can support any number of clients and a client can get data from up to 10 servers. A client needs two pieces of information to talk to a server: the name of the server and a socket number (normally 1050). The server does not need to know anything about the client. The link uses the UDP/IP protocol. This is very efficient but does not guarantee that every message will get through. On large networks, a lost message would result in a delayed data update on the client. See the Transfer data over an IP network section for detailed instructions on setting up a link. |
