File Menu

The File menu has one entry - Exit.

Click Exit to quit the DHD Communication Server. Alternatively, right-click the icon in the notification area of the Windows Taskbar and click Exit.

If at least one DHD application is running and using the DHDCS, a warning message is shown. This tells you that quitting the DHDCS can lead problems in the DHD applications.

Warning message when quitting the DHD Communication Server while DHD applications are active.

Normally, you should click No to continue the operation of the DHDCS and then quit all DHD applications. When you quit the last DHD application, the DHDCS is quitted automatically.

When you click Yes, the DHDCS quits without respect to any running DHD applications. Directly after quitting the DHDCS, the DHDCS will start again to provide the connection of the DHD applications to the devices.

If you want to quit the DHDCS while a logging function is active, an warning message is shown telling you that quitting the server will interrupt the logging.

Warning message of the DHD Communication Server when the logging function is active when trying to exit the DHDCS.

After you clicked Yes, the logging function and the server are quit. If you click No, the operation of the DHDCS continues.

Important
If you have activated the logging function for a device in the Device list, it only remains active as long as the DHDCS is running. If the DHDCS is quitted or restarted, you have to reactivate the logging function for this device.

Note
If you switch off the monitored DSP core, the logging function is not stopped. When the device is switched on again and transfers data from a known IP address, the protocol is continued. This may be useful for long-term protocols when the monitored device is not always switched on.
