Reading live measurement data using data socket

[scilab_labview_user]

Hello,

I want to transfer data across server and client continuously. I am doing this using Data Socket. I am able to write this data in the measurement file, at both the ends. At client side, I want to use each new data sample from the server, do some calculation and send the command to the server. Then server has to act accordingly. Incoming data is in the form of multidimensional array. How do I do this? Please give some tips.

Have a look at some DataSocket examples would be a good start.

Read/Write Operations in DataSocket use the Variant datatype, so multidimensional arrays should be no problem.

I could use data socket server to transfer data across computers on intranet. It seems to be working well, in terms of data transfer. But it crashed twice. I am yet to verify it on internet.

Also, I have data socket servers running at both the ends i.e. server and client.

I have following concerns:

(i) How robust is it, both on internet and intranet?

(ii) How useful would buffering be?

(iii) Any manuals that describe operation of data socket server, in detail?

Thanks.
