I have a datasocket server (WinXP) that is currently handling six labview applications (also WinXP) quite happily. I want to add one more app, written in C and running on linux, that will publish to the datasocket server. Being a simple labview programmer I don't know much about the ins and outs of include files and all that stuff. Beside me is a C programmer that doesn't know diddle about Labview. heh, what fun. Can someone bridge our knowledge gap and explain what we need to get a C app on linux talking to my datasocket server?
I'm on the WALUG mailing list. Last month we had a DS discussion.
Perhaps some of the URLs that came up could be of some use to you. We were mostly interested in what DS actually was: TCP or UDP. Turns out it's unbuffered TCP. (Sorry about the long URLs, you may have to paste them back together)
Greg explains what DS is: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=3CB758BF.809%40austin.rr.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dlabview%2B%2522data%2Bsocket%2522%2Budp%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D3CB758BF.809%2540austin.rr.com%26rnum%3D1
