User Manual
Depending on how the unit is connected to the computer, its IP address might be assigned by the
computer itself or by the LAN router:
•
If the device is connected through LAN, you can limit the search to the IP addresses of your
local network by setting the “IP to scan” field to 10.0.?.?
•
If the device is connected directly to the computer running the DeltaSens software, limit the
search to the internal IP addresses by setting the
“IP to scan” field to 169.254.?.?
These are the most common subset of IP addresses to scan and they might vary depending on your
local network settings.
By clicking on “Search” the tool will start scanning the range of IP addresses defined by the “IP to
scan” field. This procedure might take some minutes. If the tool successfully locates the DeltaSens
unit, the “Box IP”
indicator
will be updated with the discovered IP address. By clicking “OK” the user
can exit the tool and store this address into the software settings and start interfacing with the unit.
The IP address used to communicate with the DeltaSens unit can also be set manually by accessing
the “Dev. Mode” menu of the “Settings”
panel. The user can manually enter the IP address and ports
used to communicate with the DeltaSens unit under the “ZeroMQ” submenu (shown in
Figure 4). The
default ports are 10002 for cmd and 10003 for data. To save the changes
click “Save”
before quitting
the menu. The lightning bolt indicator located on the right of the top bar indicates if the software is
correctly interfacing with the DeltaSens unit. The indicator will turn yellow if everything is working
correctly (see Figure 5) and grey in case of communication problems.
