Msg passing approaches under Qnet   
I have developed an adhoc network among several 6.3.2 machines. Currently, one need to communicate with one another. 

e.g, one process on machine A has generated some data from the data acquisition board and do some processing with it, 
then the processed data need to be transferred to another process in machine B.

As i know, one way is that A put the processed data in a file, then B can access the data across the Qnet, much like 
write and open a file on the wireless network. But it seems to me not very efficient, any other better ways of 
transferring data? Thank u.

Check out our documentation.  It covers our message passing API which
includes specifying a node for across qnet communications.  If you have an
IP network, you can also just use sockets, of course.

RE: Msg passing approaches under Qnet   
It would be a good idea to refer to the Programmers Guide "Transparent
Distributed Networking with Qnet" section. It discusses some of these
questions. 

Thanks

Dave
