# Chronotrack

The acquisition in Wiclax activates a TCP server, which listens to the *SimpleClient* software from Chronotrack.

* Create a Chronotrack kind acquisition in Wiclax. Let it with defaut localhost IP (127.0.0.1) and the default port, and click on *Connect*
* Run the SimpleClient software, either on the same PC than Wiclax or on a PC visible through the local network
* In SimpleClient, open menu *Direct Socket Out / connection 1* (or any of the following). On the opening form enter *localhost* (or the address of the PC where Wiclax is running) and the port number with the same value than on the acquisition settings. Finally check the *Activate Connection* checkbox, and click the Test button to check if the connection is OK.

* Once the socket is on, clicking the *Play* button on a device item will start forwarding passing data to Wiclax

## Passing routing

On the acquisition settings, you can enter some *Point* names in column *Source @* (for example FINISH), to determine the correct destination for the event. These point names have to be entered exactly as they appear on the SimpleClient session.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wiclax.com/en/use-wiclax/acquisition-of-timing-data/the-different-systems/chronotrack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
