A question about time delay and DataSocket

[rcartery]

I read data from a DataSocket server in a net, transfer them across nets, and then write them to another DataSocket server in another net. For the sake of nets, there is always a time delay. So, reading and writing are asynchronous. Generally, reading is faster than writing in the process.

I read / write DataSocket using Measurement Studio7.1.

I wonder whether the time delay will influence my writing to the second DataSocket server. Will the subsequent data replace the former data? Does a DataSocket server work like a sequential access memory or a stack?

This depends on how you configure buffering for the data items.

Buffering options and behavior for DataSocket is described in the DataSocket Server Help. Launch Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>DataSocket>>DataSocket Server Help. In the TOC, check out Buffering Data>>Overview.

Let us know if you have additional questions.
