GainSeeker SPC can access data from devices that are capable of TCP/IP communication through the local area network. TCP/IP-capable devices include GageWay gage interfaces from MicroRidge Systems and several devices made by Zumbach Electronics.
GainSeeker can make up to 10 connections at a time to the devices reading data. Each connection has a unique number assigned to it.
Setting up TCP/IP data collection involves three basic steps:
Set up your device and computing environment. For details, see Requirements for TCP/IP data entry.
Use the TCP/IP Communication Utility to test the connection between a GainSeeker SPC workstation and the TCP/IP device. For details, see Test TCP/IP connection with GainSeeker.
Write a template to collect data from the TCP/IP device. For details, see Writing a TCP/IP template for data entry.
