Need help with TCP/IP example?

[Sys_Eng]

Hi,
I'm still new to labView 7.1. I'm trying to understand the TCP/IP
On TCP/IP Server/Client example, does the server generate the data and than send that to the client? After client receives the data, it processes the data and it displays the data on the client side? If yes, than how would just display the data on client side by 1st process it on server side? Or can you do that way?

Thanks,

As any other "server" on the internet (web server, mail server), the server passively waits for connection requests on a certain port. The client initiates a connection to the server to get the data.

It is up to the server program to decide what to serve, so you you can process the data any way you like before it is sent out.

The only important issue: You must ensure that server and client agree on the type of data being exchanged, the rest is up to you.
