Connect DASYLab to the OPC Server

Before connecting DASYLab to the OPC Server, use KepServer’s Quick

Client feature to verify that the OPC server is receiving valid readings from

the PointScan device. A discussion of Quick Client begins on page 27.

Complete the following steps to connect DASYLab to the server.

1. From a DASYLab worksheet, access the DataSocket Import Setup screen by

navigating as follows from the toolbar (see the following left-hand figure):

Modules [pull-down menu]

Network

DataSocket Import (left-click to bring up a DataSocket Import Icon)

Double-click on the DataSocket Import Icon (not shown) to open the
DataSocket Import Setup dialog box (see the following right-hand figure).

2. Click on the triangular add button [item 2 in the above figure] to add the desired number

of channels. Each click of the button will sequentially place a socket image beneath a

channel. In the preceding figure socket images can be seen for channels 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Note: If your system has more than 16 channels, you will need to put an additional

DataSocket Import module on your worksheet.
