Can I send eventcode via HTTP server?

Hi
In my current usage scenario, I cannot use the digital port of the NI board to send eventcode. Can I send the eventcode to another computer through a network cable and switch?

I do not understand. Is there anything that prevents you from doing so?

I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear. The data server has limit for digital port number. In my current experiment, I need more than 256 event codes, but the data server can only receive 8 port at most.
If I can send event code via http server, I can read them in data server like [open-ephys.github.io]

Maybe it was I that was not clear. My question was if there was anything that prevented you from sending the network eventcodes.

I don't know how to do so. I thought I can only send eventcode from NI digital ports. Could you please teach me how to send them just like NI board? I only find digital port in "behavioral code" sub system. Thank you!

This is something you need to figure out yourself. I do not think the network eventcodes will be directly supported in NIMH ML, because 1) the network communication has a relatively long, variable delay, so users should understand what they are doing and use it at their own risk and 2) there are a bunch of tools out there already. Use search engines.

If there is an HTTP server waiting on the other side and you know the format of the message you need to send, you can try some built-in tools of MATLAB, like webwrite.

Thank you Jaewon! I thought I could use network to send the eventcodes in NIMH adapters like ImageChanger so that the data server can figure out the image index series, just like what I do in [monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov].
I will try to run webwrite and ImageChanger in parallel to achieve this demand. Thank you!
