Abstract :
A comprehensive model based on XML technologies to interface data acquisition hardware devices for configuration and control purposes is presented. The model builds upon the use of a unified syntax for describing hardware devices, configuration data, test results and control sequences. An implementation and an evaluation together with an application scenario are presented.
