Getting unit data on Mango

Hi,

I have a unit which sends data(GPS coordinates in strea of characters) on an IP address and port using GPRS. For now i am using a socket utility to get that data and generate reports . I want to know if i could see those data and reports in Mango.

I am new to mango Please help.

Thanks a lot.

You are already getting data and reports? What is it you want Mango to do for you?

Hi,

I have a hardware device which sends data in stream of bytes. I want to configure that unit on Mango.
For now i have configured that unit to our server(not mango) and i am reporting those data in our self made application.

Now i want to give a try to Mango , by connecting that unit to mango and see its data on the Mango application only.

As of now we are doing this :

- configured the unit to send the byte stream to an IP and Port.
- On that IP and Port we have written an utility which receives the data, fragments it and save to the database.
-The application is designed to use that database and generate reports.

Can i use mango to this all for me. Just by configuring the units to mango can we see the data there ?

Please help.

Thanks a lot.

Mango doesn't (yet) support the parsing of arbitrary data streams. Is the data formatted in any particular protocol, or is it something proprietary?

The data is GPS coordinates? Mango supports binary, numeric, multistate, string, and image, but not (yet) lat/long. You could, however, store each component as its own point.
