Wavefront Sensor
5.6.2 WFS Receiver Application sample
The Wavefront Sensor software package contains the sample application WFS_Receiver.exe
for demonstrating the data transfer using DataSocket. The sample application can be started
from the desktop icon, from the Windows
Start button (All Programs - Thorlabs-Wavefront
Sensor - WFS_Receiver) or directly from it's location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Thorlabs\Wavefront Sensor\WFS_Receiver\WFS_Receiver.exe
Below is a screen shot of this panel.
1. Connect to the same DataSocket server where the Wavefront Sensor application is sending
the data to.
2. Click ' Connect (Auto Update) ' for connecting and automatically updating the data items as
soon as they are modified on the DataSocket server.
3. Mark the ' Enable beep when data is updated ' switch for an acoustic signal on each data
update.
4. An update is carried out automatically by the callback routine 'DSCallback (...)' which is fired
whenever data or status on the DataSocket is changed.
5. When ' Connect (Man Update) ' was used, an update is only done by a click on ' Update '.
See the sample source code WFS_Receiver.c (it is installed to the same directory as the
WFS_Receiver.exe) for detailed information of how programming is done.
