TCP/IP Ports
TCP/IP is Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a communication
protocol used to connect hosts on the internet and/or over networks. TCP/IP
allows you to connect your CTD to a computer on deck while receiving data at
a remote location elsewhere on the ship. TCP/IP also allows multiple
applications running on the same computer to communicate with each other.
TCP/IP ports can be defined in Configure Inputs or Configure Outputs; if you
make changes in one dialog box those changes will appear when you open the
other dialog box.
Click Configure Inputs. In the Configure Inputs dialog box, click the TCP/IP
Ports tab:
Enter the desired values. Click OK or click another tab in Configure Inputs.
Define TCP/IP ports to send data:
Send converted data to another application on same
computer, or to another computer.
Send raw data to another application on same
computer, or to another computer.
SEASAVE is actually 2 applications – Seasave.exe
automatically launches SeasaveAcq.exe when data
acquistion is commanded to start, and both programs run
simultaneously on same computer.
Define TCP/IP ports for following communications between
these 2 applications:
Seasave.exe receives raw data from SeasaveAcq.exe.
Seasave.exe receives status messages from
SeasaveAcq.exe.
Seasave.exe sends commands to SeasaveAcq.exe.
Remote bottle firing will be available
in a future release of SEASAVE.
