The goal of this laboratory is to measure a temperature on one computer and transmit it to another computer.  Here are the details.

• In the data server, modularize the measurement process to include the following:
• There should be two "nested" loops.  In the inner loop, measurements are taken and formatted, then sent to the network connection.
• In the outer loop, there will be a TCP/IP listener that established a connection.  That loop should run as quickly as possible so that it checks as often as possible for a client trying to make a connection.
• The Fluke/Hydra should be reset outside of the measurement loop.  However, that will probably be inside the loop where the TCP/IP listener is located.
•  To make the process as fast as possible you can set the Hydra to measure voltage in a sub-vi (A "Reset" sub-vi).  The output of that sub-vi should be an error signal.  There are no inputs for this sub-vi.
• The temperature measurement should be modularized in a separate sub-vi inside the measurement/data transmission loop.  The input to that sub-vi should be an error signal (from the reset sub-vi), and there is no output.
• The outer loop should "listen" for a connection, then move to an inner loop where the temperature is measured, then transmitted.  The temperature data format should be determined by the following:
• First measure the length of the temperature data, and encode the size of the temperature data string into two (2) bytes, padding the size string if necessary.  (i.e., if there are nine bits in the measurement string, then you should send two characters - a "0" and a "9".
• Then transmit the size of the temperature string as those two bytes.
• Then transmit the temperature data.
• On the other end, you need to build a data client that does the following:
• Opens a connection with the server.
• Receives data from the server.  The first data will be the number of bytes in the data string, and the number of bytes will in turn be encoded into two bytes.  Then you should receive the temperature string data.
• The temperature string should be converted to a numerical format and displayed on a thermometer type of indicator.
• As you receive data, the received data should be stored in a data file.  In the data file, there should be two columns - time and temperature.
