Communications

QUARC provides an external interface to establish communication channels between .NET applications and the real-time code running on a target machine called the Stream API. The Stream API is a generic buffered communication protocol API. It supports buffered I/O, the common .NET binary data types, formatted textual I/O and endian conversions.

All the communications APIs support a range of communications protocols through a common interface. For a list of protocols supported by QUARC, please refer to the QUARC Communications Protocols section of the QUARC documentation. New protocols may also be added to the communications APIs by writing a protocol driver. For information on developing protocol drivers, please contact Quanser directly.

Please use the following link to go to the .NET documentation for the Quanser.Communications package, which contains the .NET classes used for buffered communications.
