Transmission Control Protocol (Tcp/Ip) in Labview: Felix Annan

TCP allows developers to set up data communication between LabVIEW VIs over a network. It establishes a connection between communicating parties and buffers received data. TCP supports variable length messages, allowing clients to negotiate data transfer and implement various transfer methods using state machines. A typical implementation involves one VI writing to a specified IP/port and another VI reading from that port. TCP's advantages include buffered reception and ability to build server applications, while its main disadvantage is complexity of setup.

Abstract This module discusses the use of the Trasmission Control Protocol virtual instruments in LabVIEW for inter-VI data transfer
TCP allows the developer to setup data communication between virtual instruments on a network using internet protocol addresses and port numbers. TCP sets up an end to end connection between the two For each message sent, the receiver has to know the communicating parties over which the data is sent.

length of the package sent in order to use the correct number of bytes in determining the message that was sent. With the ability to send and receive messages of varying lengths, one can develop various complicated methods for the transfer of data with the use of state machines. TCP can be used with any protocol that is built with TCP as its base like http, ftp etc. It enables the developer to set up communications between clients where the clients can negotiate on the data to be transferred and how it will be transferred. The Advantage: 1. Variable length messages allows clients to negotiate the transfer of information 2. Data that is transferred is buered by receiver 3. Servers can be built where desired The Disadvantage: 1. Can be complicated to setup This method of data transfer can be used for most kinds of data. With a little extra knowledge one can be able to set up interesting communication models between applications. Implementation: A typical sender-receiver implementation is shown in the Figure. 1
