EtherLab
EtherLab sends data via Ethernet packets from the Spartan-3E StarterKit to a host PC or vice versa.
Protocol
The transport protocol is the name giving EtherLab protocol, that comes directly after the Ethernet layer. An EtherLab layer provides 8 seperate channels each transporting 16 bit of data.Hardware
The hardware reads and sends EtherLab packets only and communicates with the 4 D/A Converters, LEDs, swithes, buttons, digital inputs and outputs.EtherSocket
EtherSocket is a C# implementation based on Pcap.Net and provides the bare minimum functions to read and send EtherLab datagrams. Incomming data is read constantly in a seperate thread. To send data, the user first updates at least one channel and sends the entire updated packet afterwards.LabVIEW
The C# EtherSocket implementation has been ported to LabVIEW. Polymorphic VIs provide custom read and update operations for Booleans and Floats.Legal Notice
