MVI Backplane API
The MVI Backplane API (MVI API) is one component of the 1756-MVI
API Suite. The MVI API provides a simple backplane interface that is
portable among members of the MVI Family. This is useful when
developing an application that implements a serial protocol for a
particular device, such as a scale or barcode reader. Once developed,
the application may be used on any of the MVI family modules.
The following table identifies what this chapter contains and where to
find specific information.

should be copied to a convenient directory on the computer on which
the application is to be developed. These files need not be present on
