How the heck does datasocket work?

I've been playing with the example vis DSReader & DSWriter, and reading docs all weekend.  The only way DSreader finds the data from the DSWriter (on another machine on the network) is if I give the reader the IP of the writer machine.  dstp//localhost/wave works when both apps are on the same machine but there's no network traffic at all according to ethereal whether the apps are on the same machine or not.  I thought, from what I read, was that any machne could find the data through the URL, but no.  I want multiple machines to broadcast and receive and all share the data.  The docs say this will work but I really can't see how from the examples.  I have been using the UDP functions for years with no problems but I can't make this work even per the documentation.   What am I missing?  Love Labview, not happy with this.
Thanks,

Andy,
communicating locally using TCP or UDP do not create networktraffic. This is because the data is never really sent out in the network. Only the IO buffers are used. So the connection should show up if you use something like a network sniffer. Even the DOS-prompt command netstat shows the datasocket-connection on port 3015 (dstp).
So the only thing you have to make sure if using dstp in a network (so not only local) is that the dstp-port (3015 by default) is not blocked by any firewall or used by another application.
hope this helps,

  • Spell Check in New Forums- How The Heck does it work?

    Can somebody please tell me how the spell check works in this new forum format? I click on the abc icon and it does nothing. I do a two finger click on a word that is misspelled and it give me Insert Options. I really like the new format but hate the spell check. Can anyone offer advise? Thanks.

    The built-in ASC spell checker is -- to put it kindly -- quirky. First, you must turn it on using the 'abc' tool on the right in the editor toolbar. (When it's on, it highlights.) But it won't stay turned on if you click on the tool before you enter any text -- it will just tell you that no misspellings were found & won't stay on. It also sometimes fails to check the last word if followed by a space. You can tell it to ignore misspellings, but you can't tell it to learn words because the spell-checking dictionary is actually on the servers running the site, not on your Mac or PC.
    But from your remarks, you probably aren't even using the built-in checker. Instead, I suspect you are trying to use the far superior system-wide one built into OS X. The problem with that is the ASC editing tools are powered by Javascript supplied by the Jive SBS software running the site. Because that is platform independent it doesn't know anything about OS X's contextual menu (which includes suggestions for misspellings, the Dictionary lookup, & so on).
    So to make a long story short, what happens when you try to right click on a word the OS X checker has underlined in red, instead you get the Javascript's response to a right click, which brings up the editor's insert/alignment popup menu instead of the OS X contextual menu.
    The solution is to control click on the word -- believe it or not, within the ASC editor window a right click & a control click are not the same thing! You literally have to hold down the control key on the keyboard when you click to bypass the Javascript's right click response.
    To make things that much more confusing, this only applies if the pointer is not over empty space in the editor window, which in this case excludes lines that have any text on them, including invisible text like spaces or returns. (To see what I mean, drag the tab at the bottom right of the editor window down so there is a lot of empty space below what you have typed. In this empty area, right & control clicks both bring up the OS X contextual menu, but anywhere in the text you have typed, they behave differently.)
    In short, the problem is not that Apple has changed how the buttons or clicks work, it is that the new software that runs the site (not developed by Apple) does.
    Hope this helps.

  • How the Heck does this software work? I am so frustrated!

    I followed the instructions and imported my videos into the adobe premier elements organizer. .
    I see all of the videos in the organizer. I then added the videos to an album. THIS IS WHERE I GET STUCK
    Question is what do I do from here. I right clicked on some videos and chose EDIT WITH PREMIER ELEMENTS.
    The software then opens up another screen which is all blank and pretty much every thing that I try to click on is greyed out.
    Once I import my videos HOW DO I EDIT THEM. PLEASE HELP

    Take a look at this FAQ Entry. Steve Grisetti, our tireless MOD and world-class author, has a wonderful Basic Training series (plus many more articles in the Learning Series) on Muvipix.com. He also has some great books on PrE 8, plus some other programs, like Sony's DVD Architect, and a soon-to-be-released Tips & Tricks for PrE 8 book.
    As for where to go from there, you will need to create a New Project, and choose the Preset, that matches your AV files 100%. If you do not know the full specs. that you camera shoots, the great, free utility, G-SPOT, will give you everything that you need. What camera was used to shoot the Clips?
    I'd use the Timeline View Mode, and then just drag the Clips to the Timeline, where you can Trim them, shuffle them around, add Effects, and Transitions to suit.
    Good luck,

  • I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

    I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

    Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
    Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
    Thanks

  • How the heck does one change one's email address in the Control Panel

    I know this is the wrong place to post this but I don't know where the right place is!
    In about a week I am changing to a different broadband provider and the email address I have associated with these forums will no longer be valid. Obviously very easy to deal with - just go to "Your Control Panel" and change the email address ! I must be missing something because I can see my email address but cannot see any way to change it ! What am I missing?

    What a wonderful bit of software this forum software is.My +5k post count did not make it through the migration;
    When the migration guidelines said you have to use the same email address in the old and the new account I just changed the email address in the old java forum account to be a current email address, then signed up to the new forums with that... They could have said it must be the email address you used when you originally signed up in the old java forum - but that was back in '98 and I probably did not have access to that when the migration happened...
    I don't particularly care about the post count, but as my old posts are not linked to my account it makes it difficult to search through them...

    You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

  • In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work.  Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

    in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
    Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
    I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
    This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
    When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears: "The licensing of the product does not work" Fault 6 How should I proceed? Have the program installed on only one computer.

    Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
    "The licensing of the product does not work"
    Fault 6
    How should I proceed?
    Have the program installed on only one computer.

    Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
    Run the License Service Update.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
    a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg   It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
    b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
    c. Double-click Applications.
    d. Double-click Utilities.
    e. Double-click Terminal.
    f. Type sudo python
    Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
    g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
    It should look like this:
    h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
    (Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
    i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

    I get a bogus window hovering in my itunes page, telling me I have to update information, that I don't want to manage. 
    I am not upset or unappreciative of your feedback, quite the opposite, I can't believe anyone actually monitors peoples frustrations. 
    I just want to make sure I don't allow information about me that is not necessary.  I just want to listen to music and have a phone and have an ipad. 
    Everything else about apple is way to propriatory. I don't want to do anything that isn't very simple. 
    Most importantly, there never seems to be any (human being) that can answer a telephone call anymore.

  • Bought iphone4 and the microphone does not work only if we use in speak mode. How is it possible to fix

    I bought two  iphone4 in Miami and one of them appared a problem that the microphone does not work in normal call only if i use the speak mode. I am living in Manaus - Amazonas - Brazil and we do not have an apple store to complain it.
    Question.
    How is it possible to fix this problem ?
    Maria Filomena Kimura

    Unfortunately, the warranty is NOT international. You will have to send the defective phone to someone in the U.S. and ask them to take it into the Apple Store for replacement, then have them ship it back to you. Apple will not accept the International shipment, nor will they ship a replacement phone out of the country where it has warranty coverage.
    There are 4 carriers in Brazil who sell the iPhone, including one which sells it completely unlocked. You probably would have been better off to purchase them there if that's where you live.
