EzDriver

The EzDriver enables Disguise to receive automation data from systems using the EZ protocol.

It provides a simple interface for accepting positional or control values, allowing them to be used within Disguise’s automation workflows. In typical installations, the default driver settings are sufficient, and adjustments are only required when working with custom network or device configurations.

Uses

This driver is especially helpful when:

• Receiving continuous positional or parameter data from EZ-compatible hardware.
• Integrating lightweight tracking devices or controllers that output EZ protocol messages.
• Monitoring real-time value changes from external systems for use in automation.
• Testing or validating EZ data streams during setup or troubleshooting.
• Building custom automation workflows that require low-latency UDP-based communication.

Driver Properties

Port

The UDP port on which the driver receives data. Set this to match the port configured on the sending device or controller.

IP filter (optional)

Restricts incoming data to a specific source IP address. Useful when several sources are present on the network, or to isolate a single sender. Leave blank to accept data from any IP.

Multicast address (optional)

The multicast group address used by your system. Only required when the sender is configured for multicast — enter the exact multicast address used by the emitter. Leave empty for unicast or broadcast configurations.

Packet Timing Graph

Enables logging of incoming packet timing to a graph.

This is primarily a diagnostic tool used to analyse data rate stability or troubleshoot irregular packet delivery from EZ protocol devices.

This tool helps with troubleshooting EZ device connectivity, and verifying consistent UDP transmission.
