Real-time programs communication in the POTOK software package

Communication scheme is considered for the programs running synchronously on several computers within the local network during the experiment in wind tunnel. All the operating programs and network nodes (used to launch them) having been described in the experiment database, one may implement the process (and the corresponding technological subprocesses) in real-time via communication of the programs only subject to the control, input and output data. In this case, operation of any program turns out independent on what nodes or other programs have generated (alternatively, received) the required data. The stated effect is ensured through adding two utility programs in the software package; the first one supports both the local and network data exchange, while the second one manages the messages transmitted among the programs.
