DDClient

General

• The DDClient application is to demonstrate how to use the TCP Server function of DDUtil v3. This application will allow control of critical DDUtil functions from any PC on the Local Area Network while the main DDUtil application resides on the primary PC where the hardware is connected.

• If desired the main DDUtil application may be minimized to conserve screen space and DDClient displayed for discreet control of critical functions.

• May be used with Legacy or Signature radios.

• Window layout may be modified per user requirements by re-positioning (dragging) control groups as desired.
