Microcontroller socket programming with CVIwindows

Hello,
I am working on a project where a computer with CVIwindows GUI will be a server and my clients will be DS80C410 networked microcontrollers which has an inbuilt ethernet stack. The comm protocol will be TCP using socket programming. How do I develop socket programming on CVI to get the communication between microcontroller and CVI server?
Regards,
SR

I've attached an example c file for a multiclient TCP server from the shipping examples of CVI. CVI includes a TCP and a UDP library and you can add expanded functionality using the subroutine you mentioned. There's also some basic information on TCP programming in CVI in that document I linked in my first response.
Also you can get a 30 day trial of CVI here:

I hope this answers your questions.

  • Socket Programming with TCP

    How do I do the following:
    From Client1, get the file, divide into packets, send those packets to server. From there client2 will get those packets. So basically, transfer file from client1 to server and then to the client2.

    Looked for you for Socket-example; Found this ,from
    "pendraco" (so credits go to him), as an answer to some problem somewhere on page 2 (knew there had to be something)
    Sorry for the shitty formatting....:
    The client side is easiest:
    try {    /* Open the connection     */    Socket sock = new Socket( "192.168.100.10", 2080 );    DataOutputStream dos =        new DataOutputStream( sock.getOutputStream() );    DataInputStream dis =        new DataInputStream( sock.getInputStream() );    /* Run search...     */    dos.writeUTF( "BEGIN" );    dos.flush();    String in = dis.readUTF();    while( ! in.equals( "NONE" ) ) {     // Otherwise, assume "DATA"        // handle line of data...        in = dis.readUTF();    } dos.writeUTF( "END" ); dos.flush(); sock.close();}catch( IOException ioe ) {    // Something failed...}
    The server side also involves establishing the listener:
    try {    /* Bind to port and wait for connection     */    ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket( 2080 );    while( running ) {        Socket sock = server.accept();        DataInputStream dis =            new DataInputStream( sock.getInputStream() );        DataOutputStream dos =            new DataOutputStream( sock.getOutputStream() );        /* Run the search...         */        String in = dis.readUTF();        if( in.equals( "BEGIN" ) ) {     // Is it the correct client?            // execute search; return line of 'data'...            if( data != null ) {                dos.writeUTF( "DATA" );                while( data != null ) {                    dos.writeUTF( data );                    // get next line of 'data'                } } dos.writeUTF( "NONE" ); dos.flush(); } in = dis.readUTF();     // assume "END" sock.close(); }}catch( IOException ioe ) {    // Something failed!}

  • Socket Programing in J2ME - Confused with Sun Sample Code

    Hai Everybody,
    I have confused with sample code provided by Sun Inc , for the demo of socket programming in J2ME. I found the code in the API specification of J2ME. The code look like :-
    // Create the server listening socket for port 1234
    ServerSocketConnection scn =(ServerSocketConnection) Connector.open("socket://:1234");
    where Connector.open() method return an interface Connection which is the base interface of ServerSocketConnection. I have confused with this line , is it is possible to cast base class object to the derived class object?
    Plese help me in this regards
    Thanks in advance
    Sulfikkar

    There is nothing to be confused about. The Connector factory creates an implementation of one of the extentions of the Connection interface and returns it.
    For a serversocket "socket://<port>" it will return an implementation of the ServerSocketConnection interface. You don't need to know what the implementation looks like. You'll only need to cast the Connection to a ServerSocketConnection .

  • Re: is it possible to program with Sockets with the Internet as a network.

    I am working with socket programming.
    During the Christams holidays I will need to do some programming at home.
    Is it possible to program with sockets on a home PC using Windows with only the Internet as a network?

    yes it is
    I am also working on an application that uses sockets at the moment, and I asked help a lot by these days ;)
    Maybe I can help you from what I've learned..
    here is a basic:
    create server socket:
    ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(4444);
    4444 is the port on which the socket is listening
    Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1",4444);
    127.0.0.1 is a local IP adress to connect to and 4444 is the port number to connect to. That considers that the server and the connecting client are both on the same PC, but then you can use other IPs ;)
    Hope it helps

  • How to control tcp connection with java tcp socket programing ??

    Hi,
    I am connecting a server as using java socket programming.
    When server close the connection (socket object) as using close() method ,
    I can not detect this and My program continue sending data as if there is a connection with server.
    How to catch the closing connection ( socket ) with java socket programming.
    My Client program is as following :
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.net.Socket;
    public class client
      public client()
       * @param args
      public static void main(String[] args)
        Socket socket=null;
        PrintWriter pw=null;
        try
                          socket = new Socket("localhost",5555);
                          pw = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
                          int i=0;
                          while (true)
                            i++;
                            pw.println(i+". message is being send.");
                            Thread.sleep(5000);
        } catch (Exception ex)
                          ex.printStackTrace();
        } finally
                          try

                            if(socket!=null)socket.close();
                          } catch (Exception ex)
                            ex.printStackTrace();
                          } finally
    }

    I changed the code as following. But I couldn't catch the EOFException when I read from the socket. How can I catch this exception ?
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.EOFException;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.InputStream;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;

        Socket socket=null;
        PrintWriter pw=null;
        BufferedReader bufIn=null;
        InputStreamReader inRead=null;
        InputStream in=null;
        try

                            i++;
                            try
                              bufIn.readLine();
                              pw.println(i+". message is being send.");
                              System.out.println(i+". message has been send");
                            } catch (Exception ex2)
                              System.out.println(ex2.toString());

                            } finally
                            Thread.sleep(5000);

  • Getting ConnectException in linux with Hello World socket program

    Hello
    i'm running a hello world application that uses sockets ( [found here|http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/understanding-java-simplified-hello-world-for-socket-programming/] ) . I'm running it using a windows machine and a linux machine. When the windows machine is the server, and linux the client, no problem, the application works fine. But when the server is linux and the client is in windows i got a
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

    i've also tried changing the port and i got the same error
    and i have to say that there is no firewall installed in the linux machine and in the windows machine i disabled the firewall but i'm still getting the same error
    what else should i check? or any clue about what could be happening?

  • Problem in using socket streams with encryption and decryption

    Hi,
    I am developing a client/server program with encryption and decryption at both end. While sending a message from client it should be encrypted and at the receiving end(server) it should be decrypted and vice versa.
    But while doing so i got a problem if i use both encryption and decryption at both ends. But If i use only encryption at one (only outputstream) and decryption at other end(only inputstream) there is no problem.
    Here is client/server pair of programs in which i am encrypting the outputstream of the socket in client side and decrypting the inputstream of the socket in server side.

    **** I know that the CInput tries to read some header stuff thats why i used two threads for input and output.
    Waiting for the reply.
    Thank you.

    Do not ever post your code unless requested to. It is very annoying.
    Try testing what key is being used. Just to test this out, build a copy of your program and loop the input and outputs together. Have them print the data stream onto the screen or a text file. Compare the 1st Output and the 2nd Output and the 1st Input with the 2nd Input and then do a static test of the chipher with sample data (same data which was outputted), then do another cipher test with the ciphertext created by the first test.
    Everything should match - if it does not then follow the steps below.
    Case 1: IO Loops do not match
    Case 2: IO Loops match, but ciphertext 1st run does not match loop
    Case 3: IO Loops match, 1st ciphertext 1st run matches, but 2nd run does not
    Case 4: IO Loops match, both chiphertext runs do not match anything
    Case 5: Ciphertext runs do not match eachother when decrypted correctly (outside of the test program)
    Problems associated with the cases above:
    Case 1: Private Key is changing on either side (likely the sender - output channel)
    Case 2: Public Key is changing on either side (likely the sender - output channel)
    Case 3: Private Key changed on receiver - input channel
    Case 4: PKI failure, causing private key and public key mismatch only after a good combination was used
    Case 5: Same as Case 4

  • File descriptor leak in socket programming

    We have a complex socket programming client package in java using java.nio (Selectors, Selectable channel).
    We use the package to connect to a server.
    Whenever the server is down, it tries to reconnect to the server again at regular intervals.
    In that case, the number of open file descriptors build up with each try. I am able to cofirm this using "pfile <pid>" command.
    But, it looks like we are closing the channels, selectors and the sockets properly when it fails to connect to the server.
    So we are unable to find the coding that causes the issue.
    We run this program in solaris.
    Is there a tool to track down the code that leaks the file descriptor.
    Thanks.

    Don't close the selector. There is a selector leak. Just close the socket channel. As this is a client you should then also call selector.selctNow() to have the close take final effect. Otherwise there is also a socket leak.

  • Network and socket programming in python

    i want to learn network and socket programming but i would like to do this in python.Reason behind this is that python is very simple and the only language i know . 
    anybody can suggest me which book should i pick.
    the book should have following specification--
    1)not tedious to follow
    2)lots of example
    3)starts with some networking stuff and then get into codes
    thanks in advance with regards.

    hmm. well, your requirements are almost contradictory.
    Not sure about books, except maybe dusty's.
    Most python books cover at least some network programming (unless the book is topic specific).
    I use lots of python-twisted at work. I mean ALOT. I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for non-tedious though! I also like gevent/eventlet (esp. the async socket wrappers).
    EDIT: Wow. My post wasn't really helpful at all. Sorry!

  • Daemon and socket programming

    Hi,
    I have been given a new project whereby I have to:
    1) Write a class with a method that takes as an argument an xml document, communicate s with a SOAP server and return the SOAPs response (in this case a ResponseWrapper object).
    2) This then has to be implemented as a Daemon, that listens to a particular socket.
    The reason for this being is that it can be uploaded to a server, allowing a pearl program to send the XML to the Daemon, have this contact the SOAP server and then return the SOAPs response back to the pearl program.
    I am aware that this sounds unnecessarily complicated but it does have to be implemented this way.
    I have written the class and it successfully communicates with the SOAP server and returns a response, but have no idea how to implement it as a Daemon and have had no experience with socket programming.
    Could anyone point me to a tutorial or give me some pointers in how to get started?
    Thanks,

    It was an option to use a Web Service, but I was told
    that due to security issues it would take to long to
    write all the necessary checks and interceptors
    (which I know how to do), so I should implement it
    this way (which I don't know how to do); since it is
    sitting behind the firewall it would not be
    accessible for spoofing.Huh? You realize that tons of very sensitive information is transmitted all over the internet using Web Services right?
    I have had no experience
    with implementing this type of thing before, What is your level of experience then? This may be over your head. I'm not saying that sockets and daemons are advanced concepts, but I wouldn't throw a beginner into that task.

  • [Urgent]3G Socket programming

    May I use socket for 3G networks?
    I use the demo provided by the WTK2.5-Beta(NetworkDemo), it works well in the simulator. However, when I download the program to the mobile phone, it seems that the mobile phone that runs ServerSocket cannot create the socket ... all the 2 handsets use a 3G SIM card provided by a Hong Kong ISP smartTone ... What can I do?
    Please help~ provide any web page of codes, thanks very much!

    1.     We want to create a socket connection which can
    remain open and live for ever till it is closed. Is
    this possible in java socket programming?Yes, but it isn't practical in the real networking world. So your code had better be prepared to deal with network failures.
    2.     I am just wondering in order to communicate with
    the third party over the socket connection, does this
    other party requires to run something specific on
    their end? I am not able to understand how will my
    java code communicate with their server otherwise.It has nothing to do with java. Sockets send and recieve messages. The applications at either end, regardless of the language that they are written in, must handle those messages.
    3.     Can we send and receive data over the socket
    created and also is their specific format for the
    data? Yes.
    Can we send files of data over this connection?Yes. (Although I don't know why you would need to do that if you are doing credit card auths.)
    It would be great if someone can comment on these
    questions and also if possible please provide some
    code that can create socket connection.The tutorial.....

  • First Very Simple Socket Program

    Hello,
    I am learning about Sockets and ServerSockets and how I can use the. I am trying to make the simplest server/client program possible just for my understanding before I go deper into it. I have written two programs. theserver.java and theclient.java the sere code looks like this....
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class theserver
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {   //  IOReader r = new IOReader();
            int prt = 3333;
            BufferedReader in;
             PrintWriter out;
            ServerSocket serverSocket;
            Socket clientSocket = null;
    try{
    serverSocket = new ServerSocket(prt);  // creates the socket looking on prt (3333)
    System.out.println("The Server is now running...");
    while(true)
        clientSocket = serverSocket.accept(); // accepts the connenction
        clientSocket.getKeepAlive(); // keeps the connection alive
        out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(),true);
        in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
         if(in.ready())
         System.out.println(in.readLine()); // print it
    catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("Accept failed:"+prt);
    }and the client looks like this
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class theclient
    public static void main(String[] args)
        BufferedReader in;
        PrintWriter out;
        IOReader r = new IOReader();
        PrintWriter sender;
        Socket sock;
      try{
        sock = new Socket("linuxcomp",3333);  // creates a new connection with the server.
        sock.setKeepAlive(true); // keeps the connection alive
        System.out.println("Socket is connected"); // confirms socket is connected.
        System.out.println("Please enter a String");
         String bob = r.readS();
          out = new PrintWriter(sock.getOutputStream(),true);
        out.print(bob); // write bob to the server
      catch(IOException e)
           System.out.println("The socket is now disconnected..");
    }If you notice in the code I use a class I made called IOReader. All that class is, is a buffered reader for my System.in. (just makes it easier for me)
    Ok now for my question:
    When I run this program I run the server first then the client. I type "hello" into my system.in but on my server side, it prints "null" I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, if I am not converting correctly, or if the message is not ever being sent. I tried putting a while(in.read()) { System.out.println("whatever") } it never reaches a point where in.ready() == true. Kinda of agrivating. Because I am very new to sockets, I wanna aks if there is somthing wrong with my code, or if I am going about this process completely wrong. Thank you to how ever helps me,

  • Socket Programming-Not getting response from server.

    Hi,
    I am trying to communicate with server using java socket programming, I am getting the response for first two times third time when I am trying to write some thing I am not getting any response from the server,
    I am writing to migrate the vb code to Java the vb is using a c++ dll to communicate with the server and we tried accessing the dll from java using JNI then it is working fine, this dll is dependent on windows so we want to avoid the dependency with windows that is why we are going for socket programming, Please help on this.

    Hi,
    I am writing the data in forms of string
    like
    Socket sockt = new Socket(ipAddress, portNo);     
    out= new DataOutputStream(sockt.getOutputStream());
    in = new DataInputStream(sockt.getInputStream());
    out.writeBytes("Serv");
    out.writeBytes("Serv,32");
    out.writeBytes("home,serv32,run.prg,sucess");
    these are the strings to communicate with server.
    I am trying to read the same
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
              byte b = '\0';
                        try {
                   while ((b = in.readByte()) != '\0')
                        char ch = (char) b;
                        buf.append(ch);
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   System.out.println(e.getStackTrace());
    we are getting the response for the first two strings, but for the third string it is getting stucked for some time and returing some junk values like '???' we are sending the same string using JNI and it is working.
