MX-Foundation SDK offers you groups of function calls that interface with on-board MX core software and control all protocol and I/O supported by MAX Technologies. The on-board MX core handles the various protocol & I/O timing, data scheduling, buffering and filtering tasks
 This combination offloads your host computer and makes available resources for your critical software applications.  MX-Foundation gives you high-level abstraction (channel class-oriented) of hardware and  communication protocols.
In addition to the overall learning curve process and the time-to-market that can be tremendously reduced, MX-Foundation also offers a full evolutionary capability by being hardware and operating system independent, thus reducing your overall system life-cycle support cost.
MX-Foundation allows to reduce the difficulties and the engineering cost related to systems development that require the integration of different communication protocols, analog and discrete signals.
MX-Foundation also allows to reduce the cost and time inconveniences of being trapped with a software application that runs under a specific operating system and hardware form factor, which might not be upgradeable to a new environment.
 
Supported Carrier Boards
MX-Foundation for Windows and Linux can be used with MAX Technologies’ series-400 PCI, cPCI, VME and PXI intelligent carrier boards.
MX-Foundation for Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later (Leopard) can be used with Apple MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, XServe and MAX Technologies’ series-400 PCI intelligent carrier boards.

Data Sheet
MX-FOUNDATION MULTI-PROTOCOL API for Linux (please call for ditros)
MAX-MXF-200101
MX-Foundation is based on a channel-class model and allows users to access all resources using a single API - minimizing learning-curves, maximizing code reusability and optimizing system maintainability and expandability
  1. FEATURES
  2. “Common” set of function calls that apply to all protocol and I/O supported by MAX Technologies(ASYNC RS-422/485, A/D, D/A,   DIO, HDLC, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC429, ARINC629, ASCB, CSDB, and more)
  3. MX-Foundation for Windows and Linux works with MAX Technologies series 400 PCI, CPCI, PXI and VME cards
  4. MX-Foundation for Mac OS X works with MAX Technologies series 400 PCI cards
  5. “Embedded Service” Allows you to you develop user's specific C-code and download it on MAX Technologies series 400 intelligent boards
  6. Interfaces directly with the on-board MX-Core firmware of MAX Technologies’ Intelligent IPack Carrier Boards
  7. Automatically detects all protocols, I/O and number of channels involved in a particular system
  8. Unique sophisticated on-board event scheduler that can transmit simple or complex scenarios with very high (1 microsecond) timing resolution, precision, synchronization and determinism over all channels and protocols
