This API enables Vanguard Analyzer functionality to be incorporated in dedicated applications running on a variety of platforms and using virtually any programming language. Applications include incorporating the Vanguard Analyzer in the system GUI and custom test benches. The Vanguard API engine is implemented as a TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. based server on the Vanguard Analyzer, using simple ASCII-formatted data for both the requests and the responses. The API is therefore available to every client platform that has TCP/IP support. Two different client interfaces are available for using the Vanguard API: --The Raw ASCII ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a set of codes used to represent letters, numbers, a few symbols, and control characters. Originally designed for teletype operations, it has found wide application in computers. interface transmits RPC requests and responses as simple ASCII-coded strings, while the XML-RPC (XML Remote Procedure Call) A message-based protocol based on XML for accessing services over the Internet. An XML-RPC message is passed to the target server in an HTTP POST request. For more information, visit www.xml-rpc.com. See XMLP, XML and RPC. interface transmits the requests and responses as XML formatted messages. --The Raw ASCII interface uses basic TCP/IP socket client/server communication for the transport, while the XML-RPC interface uses HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. .
