13. In the TCP/IP section, be sure the TCP/IP Input Event Port number is 10,000. This is the port number
where the local Impact device listens for messages. (Step 8 in the local Impact device configuration.)
14. Click the Test Data Send button. The data you entered in step 4 should have been sent to the local
Impact device.
The following inputs are available in the tool.
Input Name What it is
Input String The string that is sent out the Ethernet port when the tool runs. Either the
Input String property or the Input List property can contain a value, but
NOT both.
Input List The integer list that is sent out the port when the tool runs. The list can
contain any valid integer value but, since each value is translated into a
1-byte character, any value outside the range -128 to +127 is truncated
before it is sent. You can use a Basic tool to unpack, translate, and
repack larger integer values, if necessary. Either the Input String prop-
erty or the Input List property can contain a value, but NOT both.
Delimiter Type This is placed at the end of the Input String when it is written to the port
to signify the end of the string.
Connection Type Server: The tool sends the data to all remote clients that are currently
configured to receive data from the device. See “TCP/IP” on page 2-9 for
Server port configuration.
Client: The tool sends the data to the device with the IP Address and
Port Number defined in the IP Address and Port Number properties.
IP Address If Connection Type is Client, this is the IP address of the remote Impact
device.
Port Number If Connection Type is Client, this is the remote Impact device’s input
event port number where the device "listens" for a TCP/IP message.
Error Check Delay If Connection Type is Client, the tool waits this number of milliseconds to
test for a successful write.
Disconnect after
each write
If Connection Type is Client and this value is True, the tool disconnects
from the port after each time it sends the data. See “Disconnect After
Each Write” on page 3-204.
Number of Retries This is the number of times the tool will retry sending the data before it
reports an error.
Wait for response If True, the tool will wait for a response from the remote device.
Wait for response
timeout
The length of time the tool will wait for a response from the remote
device.
