Enabling the DataSocket Connection for a Control

Enabling a DataSocket connection for a control lets a control access the DataSocket Server so the control can publish and/or subscribe to live data. Do not enable a control for a DataSocket connection if you want to establish or save the URL for the object but not publish or subscribe to data.

Complete the following steps to enable a control for a DataSocket connection.

  1. Right-click a front panel object and select Data Operations»DataSocket Connection from the shortcut menu to display the DataSocket Connection dialog box.
  2. Place a checkmark in the Enabled checkbox in the DataSocket Connection dialog box.
