## Description
|
14
|
|
15
|
This client application periodically searches for running process of TRACE32 PowerView.
|
16
|
Upon detection the application tries to execute t32rem.exe program with specific parameters which generates info file about currently connected Lauterbach Debbuger and its head device.
|
17
|
The serial numbers from the info file are then parsed and along with a timestamp and computer-related information, is sent to the server (API).
|
18
|
If the application fails to send the data, it will store the payload in a disk-based cache.
|
19
|
The client then periodically accesses the cache in order to resend the failed payloads to the server.
|

|
31
|
```
|

|
|

|
If everything goes well, a file called `LDClient.exe` with all its needed dependencies and configuration files should be created under folder 'build'.
|

|
|
