How to: Confirm UDP and TCP data streams from SEP

First, we need to know the IP address of the computer that is running the Smart Eye Pro (SEP) software.

In my case this will be 172.31.89.102.

On the SEP computer you need to make sure that you have Smart Eye Pro (SEP) started with a working setup (cameras, World Coordinate System (WCS) and if needed World Model (WM)). You also need to make sure that you have either a UDP or a TCP stream of data set up in the SEP logging settings.

You will need to copy the Socket Client from the Smart Eye computer.

The file you need is called “SocketClient.exe” and can be found here:

"C:\Program Files\Smart Eye\Smart Eye Pro 12.0\API\Examples\bin"

Place this file where you can find it easily.

I will use this location for this guide:

C:\

To start the Socket client you will have to run it from a command prompt or PowerShell.

Run “cmd” from the start menu and navigate to the folder you selected.

Now run the “SocketClient.exe”

You can now see that you need to specify what you want to “listen” for (UDP or TCP, port and IP-address), that you previously have set up in SEP > Settings > Logging...

I will use the “TCP” stream and specify the port followed by the IP-address to connect to the SEP logging.

It will look like this: C:\>SocketClient.exe TCP 5002 172.31.89.102

Now you will see a continues flow of data...

If this doesn’t work, there could be a problem caused by the firewalls on your computer.

Make sure you have the network settings set in such a way that you get traffic between the computers.
