3.8.2.3 TCP Server Communications (Receiver)
Receiving data on a TCP port is just as easy.
1.
Enter the TCP ‘listening’ port on which you intend to be receiving data and
select Bind To stop listening for data on that port, or to release the port for
another application, simply change the port number and select the Bind
button again, or exit the software application completely. (There is no
‘Un-Bind’ control button).
2.
Enter the Data to be sent back to the TCP session originator (client), select the
required data format (ASCII or HEX) and add Line Feeds and/or Carriage
Returns as needed.
3.
To send data back to the TCP originator, just hit the Send button. If you want to
send the packet on a recurring basis, select Auto Send and enter the time
interval. The application will send the data stream every x seconds until you
stop the software or de- select the Auto Send button. (Default is every 1
second).
4.
Data will be displayed in the Sent Data Log. You can change the display format
to either ASCII or HEX, as well as choose to append a Time and/or Date to
each data stream.
5.
Data totals in bytes are displayed in the bottom status tray.
