Using UDP communication with CVI 7.1.1

[Peter PBI]

Hi,

Is anyone of you using LabWindows/CVI 7.1.1 for UDP communication ? 

Are there no wrapper available readily for the Windows socket functions to enable UDP communiaction like the TCP/IP support already built in.

B.Rgds.

Check out this example. The code for the wrapper is included as well.

Hi there,

Thank you for the link, however does this code not assume that i have CVI FDS package ? I "only" have CVI BASIC package.

B.Rgds

This example uses the winsock library from the Windows SDK function, which comes with CVI FDS. So yes, you will need CVI FDS for this example to work.

Well then we can´t use it , seems like NI is only trying to force costumers to buy FDS (on which profit is much greater) by excluding little things in the BASIC package to ensure their earnings. $$$ first as always.

Has anyone else got a UDP sample project using the BASIC version of CVI ?

It is a petty that NI one have to purchase the FDS package just to get such simple function in CVI especially considering the fact that TCP/IP support are build in to the basic version (which requires even more handling).

B.rgds.
