UDP and wireless

[engineering08]

Not sure where I should be posting this so I put it here. I am currently working on a project where I have to use the UDP protocol to read in data being sent to me throught a wireless access point. I am still not sure if I should be using the UDP parts or if I should be using the IrDA parts for this?

Could you post some details of exactly what you are trying to accomplish?  An application where you are using UDP  versus IrDA could be very different.

From your description, I assume you're talking about Wi-Fi. This has nothing to do with IR. Wi-Fi works using radio waves and replaces the data link layer of the connection. As such, it is completely transparent to your LabVIEW code and you should use it as you would use any IP based communication setup (e.g. a dialup modem or a LAN). That means using the UDP VIs.
