DataSocket Server Configuration
The DataSocket server needs to be configured for Wavefront Sensor data transfer to permit
Read and Write access by the connected computers. In addition, the writer application, that is
the PC operating the Wavefront Sensor, requires permissions as a creator of new data items.
Open the DataSocket Server Manager. Click on 'Creators' and set 'everyhost' to be allowed to
create new data items. Repeat this also for the groups 'Default Readers' and 'Default Writers'.
Save the changed settings (Ctrl+S) and close the panel.
The DataSocket server must be restarted in order to update these settings. Shut it down using
the appropriate menu entry and start it again:
Note
Closing the server panel is not sufficient to update the setting. The DataSocket server needs to
be relaunched to start with the new configuration!
Firewall configuration
The firewall software integrated in Windows
®
operating systems might be configured to block
access to the DataSocket server. Make sure that the firewall is switched off or - in the case that
your IT policies require an activated firewall - that the 'National Instruments DataSocket Server'
is marked as an Allowed Program.
