"IP To String" element

IP To String

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: PC writes one element to a network stream channel, RT reads the element from the same channel

Send messages through a network stream channel
RT code PC code

Send command and status messages through a low-latency lossless network-based data communication channel between the RT target and PC host system.

LabVIEW RT/PC block diagram snippet: Use String To IP to determine all known IP addresses for this target, and then render to human-readable form as strings

Show available IP addresses
RT code PC code

Display all of the network IP (Internet Protocol) addresses at which the RT target or PC host can be reached.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: Use TCP to read current time from NIST time server, parse and validate the returned string, update the RT system time accordingly

TCP/IP sender and receiver and "TCP ping" application
RT code PC code

Send TCP/IP messages to a destination IP address and port number, listen for incoming TCP/IP messages on a user-defined port, and echo received messages back to the source. Combine the sender and receiver into a single "TCP ping" application to test the communication channel between two network hosts, and illustrate the notifier method to stop parallel loops with one "stop" button.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: Read the onboard accelerometer and pushbutton, convert to JSON string, and write to TCP channel

TCP client-server
RT code PC code

Create a server on the Academic RIO Device that listens for TCP/IP network connection requests from a client running on the PC host, accepts client information including the desired state of the four onboard LEDs, sets the LEDs accordingly, and returns the state of the onboard 3-axis accelerometer and pushbutton.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: "UDP Sender" loop sends system name and time and 1-second intervals to the destination IP address and port

UDP sender and receiver and "UDP ping" application
RT code PC code

Send UDP messages to a destination IP address and port number, listen for incoming UDP messages on a user-defined port, and echo received messages back to the source. Combine the sender and receiver into a single "UDP ping" application to test the communication channel between two network hosts, and illustrate the notifier method to stop parallel loops with one "stop" button.

LabVIEW RT block diagram snippet: Read the onboard accelerometer and pushbutton, convert to JSON string, and write to UDP channel

UDP client-server
RT code PC code

Create a server on the Academic RIO Device that listens for UDP datagram messages from a client running on the PC host, accepts client information including the desired state of the four onboard LEDs, sets the LEDs accordingly, and returns the state of the onboard 3-axis accelerometer and pushbutton.
