Hi, This topic just came up at the SD Lava Usergroup meeting last week but I still have some questions regarding passing the "Type" of data through TCP and how to re-assemble the data on the "other side". Currently, I'm "copying" over the datatype as a constant to the VI receiving the data. Then using this constant, I can rebuild the cluster either via XML or Variants. What I'd like to do is send the data type through so that constants don't need to be used, I can wire in the datatype so
