TCP reading problem

[Massimiliano Conti]

Hi !

I'm developing a client application that receives different types of data from a server.

If I receive a packet while I'm still processing the last one, after exiting from the Client TCP callback function, will I receive another DATAREADY event (generated by the second packet ) or not ?

Thank you !!

Hi Massimiliano.

Yes, you should continue to receive TCP_DATAREADY events as long as there is unread data on the connection. I have confirmed this in recent tests (with CVI 6.0).

If you prefer not to handle any new data immediately as it arrives, you could execute ClientTCPRead() in a loop which exits when there is no remaining data. If you do this, include an additional method of breaking out of the loop, based on elapsed time or number of iterations.
