We have several of the O2E cards and optical switch cards.
For our development, the provided software API with the server/client architecture has been acceptable. We are currently investigating how to continue to utilize this software architecture in our deployed systems.
Our team would find it much easier if we were able to circumvent the server API layer and write drivers to communicate directly with the instruments. This would not require running a localhost server on our deployed equipment. From looking through the various code samplings in the languages provided, it seems that the server API layer is simply translating serial/SCSI commands down to the cards.
Would it be possible for us to have access to the equipment directly via custom drivers (not requiring the localhost server)?
Thank you.
