Gocator Communication Protocol
The Gocator communication protocol uses TCP messages to control sensors and to transmit data and measurement results to a client computer. You can select which measurements and what type of scan data to send (image; range, profile, or surface, depending on sensor model; or intensity).
All of the tasks that you can accomplish in the web interface can be accomplished programmatically by sending and receiving the protocol control commands, with the SDK or the REST API. For more information on the SDK and the REST API, see GoPxL SDK and REST API.
