# TUIO

TUIO has only a receiver device which means it can only receive data.

## Receiving TUIO

Workflow and settings are similar to previous devices

### Setup in the Devices window

Insert a **TUIO Receiver** node and after you set *Stream* parameters check the **Listen** checkbox.

On this screenshot, we are receiving data from the TUIO sender application.

### Setup in the Layouts window

Insert a **Read TUIO** node and choose the device in **Device** input. After this, you can set the **Message index**. This index simply fetches the message, where multiple messages can be received.
