Software Interface TCP/IP


Overview

APE devices typically come with a data acquisition software and – where applicable – with a TCP/IP-based standard software interface. This makes setting up remote control for APE equipment straight forward. The software interface allows you, for example, to design your own automated measurement routines. Simply use our protocol templates for rapid configuration with familiar programming languages, including C++, C#, LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, and Ruby.

Details

The APE Software Interface is based on the standard TCP/IP communication protocol. This enables integration of APE’s devices into your Local Area Network (LAN) as well as using the readily available infrastructure of the internet for large distance remote access. TCP/IP communication is well supported by a wide variety of programming languages. A complete interface documentation comes with each device. Here you can download some examples that demonstrate how to use the software interface with common programming languages (C++, C#, LabVIEW™, Python, Matlab and Ruby).

Key advantages of the TCP/IP Interface are:

• Uniform structure of commands
• SCPI99 compatible command syntax
• Interaction of complex control commands via the Control Software
• Access to processed data rather than raw data
• Direct access to measurement parameters calculated from the processed data
• Management of status information
