Run your own analysis routines in parallel with AcqKnowledge
Network Data Transfer (NDT) is a real-time data transfer system that allows access to the data being acquired into a graph by AcqKnowledge for use in an external application; the computer used to run the AcqKnowledge process and the custom application may be the same computer. - NDT is a basic method for allowing third party applications to tap into the data stream being generated by both the MP unit and AcqKnowledge during data acquisitions. - NDT provides networking facilities that allow for integration into a distributed application environment. - NDT provides basic control facilities to allow external applications to query and control the AcqKnowledge application state.
The NDT license is an add-on to current AcqKnowledge intallations running version 4.1 or higher. The NDT license unlocks Network Data Transfer functionality and adds the “Network Data Transfer Reference” to the Help menu.
Most of the settings for the network data transfer functionality are set by clients through control connections. Several settings for the AcqKnowledge server may be set directly in the AcqKnowledge preferences. Versions of AcqKnowledge that include network data transfer functionality have an additional "Network" group of settings underneath their Preferences. These Preferences are accessed from the Display menu (Vista) or from the AcqKnowledge menu (Mac OS X): The NDT system is split into two separate types of connections: data connections and the control connection. - Data connections deliver data from AcqKnowledge to external applications during acquisitions. - Control connections are made from external applications to AcqKnowledge to query application state and adjust data connections.
