standard network stack API. Both APIs can be used simultaneously. Select an API based on
the needed function, listed below:
API Functionality
NI-XNET
• Monitor
• AVB endpoint
• IEEE 802.1AS synchronization
• Trigger synchronization
• Port configuration
Operating System Network Stack
• Network sockets (TCP/IP and UDP/IP)
NI-XNET provides many of the advanced data access and timing & synchronization
capabilities for the device, while availability of the OS network stack provides a
straightforward way to integrate applications that rely on standard network sockets for their
network communication.
LED Functionality
The module includes two LED indicators per port to help you monitor hardware and bus
status.
