Communication/FastData

Introduction

The FastData UDP server allows a UDP client to retrieve from the MC data about specific axes and variables. The server is initialized upon MC startup and is immediately ready to respond to clients.

Server Functionality

The server will receive client requests from any IP address, on port 60000.
The server will send axes data ONCE upon a SINGLE request of the client, and will send
data only about axes that were specifically requested by the client.

Meaning the server is blocked on receive( ) and anticipates data from the client that indicates which axes data to send back.
