Communicate with an Echo UDP Server

Open Live Script

This example shows how to set up an echo UDP server.

Start the echoserver using the echoudp function on port 4012. Create a udpport instance to communicate with the echo server.

echoudp("on",4012)
u = udpport

u = 
  UDPPort with properties:

     IPAddressVersion: "IPV4"
            LocalHost: "0.0.0.0"
            LocalPort: 58379

Write data using the write function to the echo server running on port 4012.

write(u,1:10,"uint8","127.0.0.1",4012);

The echo server sends back the data written to it. Read this data back using the read function.

data = read(u,10)

data = 1×10

     1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9    10

Stop the echo server and clear the udpport object.
