1 INTRODUCTION
The INS Common Software Part 1, Data Transfer Library (dxf) described in this User Manual, provides services for fast transmission of large amounts of data, normally from LCU platforms to WS platforms. This library was initially intended for transfers of detector data but it can be used for any transfer of data including file transfers.
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to describe the usage of the functions implemented for the data transfer in the VLT distributed control system, and also to provide other information in connection with the usage of these functions. Furthermore, the information necessary for installing the functions, using them in applications and testing them is provided.
1.2 SCOPE
It is the scope of this document to cover how the dxf functions can be used in applications which have a need for exchanging data. It is beyond the scope of the document to discuss in detail how these data are provided and handled after the reception. The dxf functions serve solely the purpose of ensuring a fast, reliable and user-friendly interface to the communication system.
