Regarding tcp/ip server side

[Parny]

Hello all,

hope its not too irrelevant to the labview.

I have gone through "simple data client.vi" and "simple data server.vi" examples, want to replace simple data server.vi with a simple c program on a different computer.

Can someone please hint me how to form it?? using v8.5. The ultimate need is: c-program sends the required data to client(labview) whenever it is being requested.

The labview and c-program are on different PCs.

Not sure whether simple c-language instructions inport and outport(from dos.h) will do? or do I need to do some socket programming??

Thanking you.

Hi,
You should be able to find a good TCP example written in C on the internet.  Searching on NI's website will most likely only yield LabVIEW examples.  Here is one link I found on the internet. I would search google for "tcp" and "C" to see what you might be able to find.

Thanks for the link Eric.
