Hi All,
I've never done any Labview programming for TCP/IP as of late. But now I need to figure how to.
I've been asked to work on a Pick to Light system that is controlled via TCP/IP comm.
The Communication data is sent via a CCB (Communication Control Block) format as below.
The image below shows how to turn on a certain 7-segment LED to display a certain number.
What I'm trying to figure out is, how do you send the formated data via TCP/IP. As you know again, I've never worked with TCP/IP before.
I've done a ton of searching etc for how to send the data in a format that is similar to what the controller needs but have yet to find anything similar.
I'm not asking for you to do the coding for me, just need some guidance on how to.
I also attached the comm protocol for reference.
Thanks a ton in advanced,

I'm sorry for being retarded, but what would a sample data package be?
I have no concept of how a TCP/IP data package would even look like.
I know using visa, it is rather simple by just writing the command to the port i.e.) RUN, IDN, etc.
The ATOP command block seems that it would need a string/array of commands strung together. How would you seperate them etc.
Would a command look something like this (example only from the top of my head): 0FH/00F/00H etc to the the port? or one at a time like 0FH wait and listen then 00F, etc.
Thanks...
