Theory of Operation

4.3.1 ADM API

The ADMNET API is one component of the MVI ADM API Suite. The ADMNET
API provides a simple module-level interface that is portable between members
of the MVI Family. This is useful when developing an application that implements
a serial-Ethernet protocol for a particular device, such as a scale or bar code
reader. After an application has been developed, it can be used on any of the
MVI family modules.

4.3.2 ADMNET API Architecture

The ADMNET API is composed of a statically-linked library (called the ADMNET
library). Applications using the ADMNET API must be linked with the ADMNET
library.

The following illustration shows the relationship between the API components.
