TCP/Serial Output options allow you to:
Note: When using AutoVISION's Emulator, you can use your TCP connection to view data output.
TCP/Serial Output accepts the following special characters, which can be used to configure the output string:
\a bell
\b backspace
\f form feed
\n new line
\r carriage return
\t horizontal tab
\v vertical tab
\’ single quote
\x022 double quote ( ” )
\? question mark
\ooo three digit octal notation ASCII value, i.e. \145 = 'e'
\x0hh hexadecimal notation ASCII value, i.e. \0x04C = 'L'
When you have configured how you want data to be output over TCP, run the job in a tryout loop or click the Run view to begin data output.
To view output using the TCP connection, you first need to enable Telnet on your computer.
Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Click on Turn Windows Features On or Off in the upper left corner of the dialog box.
Select Telnet Client in the new dialog box.
Click OK. Telnet Client is now enabled.
While the tryout loop or the job is running, open Run from the Start Menu in Windows.
Type cmd in the text field. This will bring up the Windows command line interface.
At the prompt, type telnet 127.0.0.1 4921x (where 'x' = the TCP port number - for example, 49211, 49212, 49213, etc.) and Enter.
Note: 127.0.0.1 means "this computer".
Important: If you are connected to a camera, type telnet [camera’s IP address] 4921x (where ‘x’ = the TCP port number – 49211 to 49215) and Enter.
After you type Enter you will be connected to a Telnet session that shows data output as it was formatted on AutoVISION's TCP/Serial Output tab.
