Test instrumentation I/O communication interface and method |
摘要 |
A universal I/O interface is presented which allows communication with a number of different instruments independent of the underlying I/O configuration. The universal I/O interface is a set of Component Object Model (COM) interfaces that are independent of the underlying I/O bus and API. In addition, the universal I/O interface allows instrument data to be parsed and instrument commands to be formatted in a programming language independent way. In the preferred embodiment, the universal I/O interface comprises an ActiveX Automation Server that abstracts the APIs for various possible underlying I/O buses and vendor software libraries into a single universal I/O interface. This allows instrument application programmers to design applications that are universally supported on any number of instrument I/O buses.
