Data socket PDA

[Rumcajs]

Does anybody know if .vi used DataSocket ActiveX (CWDSLib.INIDSCtl) to communicate with OPC Server by TCP/IP will work on PDA with Windows CE 3.0 or 4.x ?

LV7,0 under XP.

I'm not sure how much ActiveX support, if any, exists in PocketPC, but even if there is, you would need whatever supplies the ActiveX interface to be running on the PDA, and I'm fairly sure that doesn't exist. If the DS functions are not available in the PDA module, you will probably have to write an application on the PC which will talk to your PDA app through your own TCP protocol and forward that to the OPC server.

Indeed no Datasocket VI's available in PocketPC mode. On the bright side: Since the quickly gaining popularity of the .NET compact framework, I would be very surprised NOT to see at least some .NET support in the next version of LV pocketPC. In the mean time, might I suggest to take a look into a ExpressVI called "PDA request service." It is available in the TCP menu (with the LV execution target PocketPC).
