Network Protocol

BitScope Test, Measurement & Data Acquisition Software.

BitScope PC Based USB Oscilloscopes and Logic Analyzers.

BitScope Networking uses the User DatagramProtocol (UDP) for communication. UDP is one of two transport protocols used by the Internet (the other being TCP). UDP is encapsulated in Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams which means communications between the PC and a Network BitScope can be routed across multiple networks or even the Internet itself. Below is the format of the UDP/IP packet implemented by the Network BitScopes.

4	8	16	32 bits (IP Header)

UDP/IP Packet Format

Most of this is transparent to the user and/or programmer of a Network BitScope.
The only part that is of interest to BitScope programmers is the BitScope Packet.
