Inputs/Outputs

  • cu32.png mode (standard) —

    mode (standard) specifies the behavior of the read operation. The default value is standard.

  • cgenclassrn.png socket in —

    socket in is a network connection refnum that uniquely identifies the TCP socket. Use XNET TCP Socket Open or XNET TCP Socket Wait on Listener to generate a refnum to wire to this input.

  • ci32.png bytes to read —

    bytes to read is the number of bytes this VI reads. The default value is 0. Wire a value greater than 0 to this input to read data.

  • ci32.png timeout ms (25000) —

    timeout ms (25000) specifies the time, in milliseconds, that the VI waits to complete before returning a timeout error. The default value is 25,000 ms. Wire a -1 to this input to wait indefinitely.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

    The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

  • igenclassrn.png socket out —

    socket out is the same value as socket in.

  • i1du8.png data —

    data is the data read from the TCP connection.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
