cDAQ 9181 with NI 9217 module ehternet communication with an OPTO PAC R1 controller

[Jim58]

Does anyone know of a command reference or programmer's reference document for TCP/IP communication with out using LAB view? I can establish communications with the DAQ from the PACR1 controller but I don't have the commands for triggering RTD modules. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim.

Is the OPTO PAC R1 that you're referring to this product?

The cDAQ-9181 uses a proprietary data protocol implemented via DAQmx, which has both a LabVIEW API and a C API. However, this requires a Windows host in order to have DAQmx installed; the OPTO PAC R1 won't work as a host. You can, however, have a separate Windows host that communicates with both the cDAQ-9181 and the OPTO PAC R1.
