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.
