UDP Interface
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a transport protocol layered on top of the Internet Protocol (IP). Use the UDP interface for reading and writing both binary data and ASCII data. You can read and write to servers, computers, instruments, and use applications such as streaming video and audio, point-of-sale systems, and other business applications.
Functions
Blocks
| Query Instrument | Query or read instrument data |
| To Instrument | Send simulation data to instrument |
| UDP Receive | Receive data over UDP network from specified remote machine |
| UDP Send | Send data over UDP network to specified remote machine |
Topics
Create a UDP Object and View Properties
Create a UDP object to establish a connection between MATLAB® and the remote host.
UDP Communication Between Two Hosts
These are the minimum steps required to communicate between two hosts over UDP.
Write and Read ASCII Data Over UDP
Explore ASCII write and read operations with a UDP object.
Write and Read Binary Data Over UDP
Explore binary write and read operations with a UDP object.
Use Callbacks for UDP Communication
Enhance UDP communication by executing a callback function when a specified event occurs.
Compare the TCP/IP and UDP protocols to determine which to use.
Transition Your Code to udpport Interface
Connect to a UDP socket using udpport instead of
udp.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshoot the UDP interface.
Resolve UDP Port Warning: Unable to Read Any Data
Troubleshoot when you receive no data and you get the warning message: 'udpport' unable to read any data.
Resolve UDP Port Warning: Unable to Read All Data
Troubleshoot when you receive some data and you get the warning message: 'udpport' unable to read all requested data.
