Local DataSocket server
If you want to use the local DataSocket server running on the same PC just use the
default setting 'dstp://localhost/WFS_WavefrontSensor' and click 'Connect'. The
software will automatically start the server if it is available. The status window will
inform you about success or failure.
Separate DataSocket server
If you want to use a DataSocket server on a separate machine connected via a TCP/
IP network you have to start the DataSocket server on the remote machine first and
configure it according to the description in DataSocket for live data transfer . Now
type in the correct network name of this computer hosting the DataSocket server, for
example dstp://my-pc-name.de.thorlabs.local/WFS_WavefrontSensor.
The name of this computer is displayed on the appropriate DataSocket server
panel. Then click 'Connect'. In case of failure look for firewalls blocking the data
transfer (DataSocket for live data transfer ).
Click 'Disconnect' to shut down the connection to the DataSocket server. If you '
Close' the configuration panel the data connection holds up until it is disconnected
or the Wavefront Sensor application is shut down.
Enable basic data
When this check box is marked the software will continuously send setup and result
data of the Wavefront Sensor measurement to the DataSocket server. See
Available Data Items for a description of the available data items.
Enable wavefront data
When this check box is marked the software will automatically send the entire
wavefront data array to the DataSocket server. Because the amount of data can be
considerably it can be disabled to increase transfer speed. See Available Data
Items for a description of the available data items.
Enable wavefront data
When this check box is marked the software will automatically send the entire
centroid data arrays (for x- and y coordinates separately) to the DataSocket server.
Because the amount of data can be considerably it can be disabled to increase
transfer speed. See Available Data Items for a description of the available data
items.

Available Data Items
When 'Enable basic data' is checked on the DataSocket configuration panel the
following data items from the actual Wavefront Sensor measurement are sent to the
DataSocket server. As soon as a measurement is complete the data on the
DataSocket server is updated.
Measurement results in 'float' format may contain the coding 'NaN' which stands for
'Not A Number'. This indicates that the parameter is not available. Data is split in two
groups, Wavefront Sensor settings and measurement results.
