TCP/IP data collection from instrument w/o any information

2 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to stream data from an ultrasound device, and am not getting very far. Any help/suggestions would be FABULOUS.
So I know that previously someone has managed to stream data using this device, it was reported in a paper from 2006. In this they state data was streamed to a PC via an ethernet port, streaming used Windows socket implemtations , and that socket implimentation used TCP. This is the extent of the information I have. I am not able to get information from the manufactorer, or these researchers (now retired).
I am able to ping the IP address of the device, confirming it is connected. I did not have any info r.e. the remote port used on the hardware, so I looped through possibilites to get some candidates (of which I got 3: 135, 139 and 445), when I create a object using tcpip(IP, Port) i get the following info for all...
Communication Settings
RemotePort: 135
RemoteHost: 169.254.124.16
Terminator: 'LF'
NetworkRole: client
Communication State
Status: closed
RecordStatus: off
Read/Write State
TransferStatus: idle
BytesAvailable: 0
ValuesReceived: 0
ValuesSent: 0
and using tcpclient;
tcpclient with properties:
Address: '169.254.124.16'
Port: 135
Timeout: 10
BytesAvailable: 0
ConnectTimeout: Inf
When ever I try to read data there no bytes available. I've tried the Instrument Control app, but have also not managed to read any data.
What steps can I try and do to potentially stream data from this device? Thanks
