TCP/IP
The
scout
Link
Control Software has the ability to run its own TCP/IP server allowing the user to
remotely make measurements and to control the autocorrelator. Almost all options and operational
modes of the autocorrelator can be changed or data can be read out via LAN or WI-FI connection
using the standard TCP/IP protocol which is implemented by almost any operating system. This al-
lows the user to implement automatic measurement routines with any programming language (C++,
Python, LabView, Octave, MatLab, Excel). It is recommended to use a command line terminal to
test the connectivity to the device and to get a better understanding of the TCP/IP command func-
tionality. The
Pulse
Scout2
accepts either the full command, e.g., "system", or the abbreviation
marked by bold and capital LETTERS, e.g., "sys". The preface "sl" or "scoutlink" is also optional. To
read the current status add a question mark "?" after the command with no space between. To set
a value add an equal sign "=" or leave a space and then add the value that is to be set. A complete
list of all available commands with short examples can be found in the Appendix B on page 51.
