Hi,

The DataSocket server is an executable, so you can just lunch it as any other executable. You can use the system commmand or any other way.

Once the server is running you can just use the connect method to start up the communication. You don't need measurement studio in the client machine, all you need is to create create an installer that includes the DataSocket component as any other MStudio controls.

Hope that helps.

If you are going to have a Measurement Studio application running on the server anyway, you can use the CNiDataSocketServer class to automatically launch the server application when you run your application. The Measurement Studio DataSocket example programs demonstrate CNiDataSocketServer.
