PREFACE

Providing good and consisting software support for standard products is essential for application

programmers and system integrators in accomplishing their task.

The use of M-modules is not restricted to one specific environment, but is extended to numerous

combinations of buses and operating systems. Standard software for these products must be useable

on many platforms and easy to maintain.

In order to provide a good, consistent, maintainable and fast way to support M-modules on many

different platforms, AcQuisition Technology has developed APIS.

APIS is short for AcQ’s Platform Interface Software. Its mere task is to provide a standard API

(Application Program Interface) to the application while taking care of all hardware related matters for

the platform involved.

APIS provides an open software standard which is available to every interested user. The use of

APIS is not restricted to M-modules, but can be applied in each situation where standard equipment

(mezzanine card, plug-in adapter, silicon chip, etc.) has to be controlled over a variable hardware

interface.

To ensure coherency when making proprietary platform support, AcQ distributes the APIS

Programmers Manual. This manual contains all information needed by programmers to build their

own platform support.
