Facility Control

I have two Acuities in separate control room that need to send RossTalk commands to the same device. The listening device can only listen on a single port. 

Does Acuity RossTalk establish a continuous connection to an IP:Port? Or does it connect, send a command, then disconnect?

If it's the latter, then I'm hoping I can use the Acuity to communicate directly with the device with the caveat the Acuities cannot be used simultaneously.

Background:

I'm connecting to a BTI Ticker product which accepts triggers via socket byte strings which is how RossTalk works. RossTalk works far better than the custom Python script I was building instead. My question is purely about connectivity and whether the Acuities can both connect to the same device:port using RossTalk. If not, I can use Dashboard as intermediary. Essentially: Acuity --> (RossTalk) Dashboard --> BTI. For simplicity, I'd like to leave Dashboard out if possible.

Hi Kurt,

As Louis and Les confirmed, Acuity does an Open and Close after sending and Ultrix has been upgraded to have the ability to add multiple connections, you can add multiple Acuity systems RossTalk to the same device and port.
