Choices of host interfaces
Ethernet
The FlexMobile 429+ instruments can be controlled using Ethernet, allowing distributed devices on a LAN to be accessed by client computers on the network. Also, you can setup a network with a Wi-Fi hub and access the FlexMobile 429+ device wirelessly.
USB
The FlexMobile 429+ instruments can also be controlled using USB 2 or USB 3. USB is the most common desktop and laptop port that you’ll see. This is the most straight forward choice for working on the go (Field Applications).
MX Foundation 4 API
The MX Foundation API library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards. MX Foundation is available for Windows, Linux and other operating systems. Read more…
