An
Introduction to Networked Measurements with TCPIP - 2
In this laboratory you measured temperatures and transmitted them from
a server vi to a client vi. Answer the following questions about
the laboratory.
-
Where is the port number
used? Which port number (server or client) is used?
-
Describe how the data
format changes as the data flows from the instrument to the display on
the client side. Note any LabVIEW functions used and what they are
used for.
-
Describe how you would
modify the LabVIEW program for measuring and transmitting voltage measurements
(as from the pressure sensor).

TCPIP stands for "Transmission Contgrol Protocol/Internet
Protocol". It is a protocol for transmissions
between computers, and it is an "open standard" so that anyone can create
an implementation if they want to. TCPIP runs on almost every hardware
platform. It's widely used. You will find ways to implement
TCPIP in LabView, C/C++, Visual Basic, etc. Our personal opinion
is that LabView is the easiest way to do it.
