Wavefront Sensor
Local DataSocket server
If you want to use the local DataSocket server running on the same PC just use the default set-
ting '
dstp://localhost/WFS_WavefrontSensor ' and click ' Connect '. The software will automati-
cally start the server if it is available. The status window will inform you about success or failure.
Separate DataSocket server
If you want to use a DataSocket server on a network computer, first start the DataSocket
server on the network computer and configure it according to the description in DataSocket for
Live Data Transfer . Then type in the correct network name of the target network computer
hosting the DataSocket server. For example,
dstp://[pc_name].[domain_name]/WFS_WavefrontSensor .
The name of this computer is displayed in the appropriate DataSocket server panel. Then click
'
Connect '. In case of failure, look for firewall settings - these may block the data transfer
( DataSocket for live data transfer ).
Click ' Disconnect ' to shut down the connection to the DataSocket server. If you ' Close ' the
configuration panel the data connection holds up until it is disconnected or the Wavefront
Sensor application is shut down.
Enable basic data
Check this box to have the software continuously send setup and result data from the WFS
measurement to the DataSocket server. See
Available Data Items for a detailed description
of the submitted data items.
Enable wavefront data
Check this box to transfer the entire wavefront data array to the DataSocket server. As the data
volume increases considerably in comparison with basic data transfer, the transfer speed will
decrease. See
Available Data Items for a detailed description of the submitted data items.
Enable centroid data
Check this box to senD entire centroid data arrays (for X and Y coordinates separately) to the
DataSocket server. The transfer speed will decrease due to the transmitted data volume. See
Available Data Items for a detailed description of the submitted data items.
