Programming the E1437A
The E1437A is shipped with software and documentation to support a broad set of
choices of controllers, I/O interfaces, programming languages, and operating
systems. By virtue of its compliance to the VXIplug&play standard, the E1437A is
most easily controlled in an environment conforming to one of the supported
VXIplug&play frameworks. However, support is also supplied for other common
hardware and software environments. The relationship among the various levels of
programming the E1437A is shown in the diagram below.
