Linux And MS-Windows APIs For Custom Development Of VQuad Applications

GL Communications Inc. a global leader in telecom test and measurement solutions, announced recently its latest Linux and MS-Windows CLI and API Support for remote-access and custom development ofVQuad Application on GL’s Dual UTA HD or Probe HD Hardware.
Speaking to the press Mr. Robert Bichefsky, Director of Engineering at GL Communications Inc said, “Open source is ubiquitous, it's almost unavoidable and Linux is the leader in open source. So, GL supports Linux Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for our flagship products! Since our cards have unique features unavailable with other industry standard cards, customers can now build custom applications faster and cheaper.”
“All the functionalities of the hardware are exposed through the APIs. In addition, many software-based functions are available that ease even the most complex application development.”

He further added, “GL's Dual UTA HD and VQuad Probe HD, which supports all interfaces and telephony devices designed for testing HD voice using Bluetooth Wideband, FXO Wideband and 4-wire Analog. VQuad Probe HD is an all-in-one self-contained VQuad with Dual UTA HD test instrument along with the necessary PC hardware with Windows OS useful for portability and remote accessibility.”
