Launch

Server

Server can be launched with 1 or 2 input parameters. The number of parameters determines what mode will be used - manual or automatic mode.

port -

config_file -

Manual mode - server waits for input commands from client, sends them to laser sensor and returns results back to client ./server <port>
Automatic mode - server loads variables from configuration file config.txt, starts measuring and sends results to client continuously. ./server <port> [config_file]

Client

Client has to be lauched with 2 input parameters.
