4-2 Millennial Net
Using the MeshScape API
Using the MeshScape API
Millennial Net’s MeshScape™ API enables you to effectively use the features provided by
Millennial Net’s MeshScape wireless sensor network. You can develop custom applications that
utilize the MeshScape API library on Windows- or Linux-based platforms such as Network
Controllers, PCs, or PDAs.
The Millennial API provides a serial command set that enables a MeshScape MeshGate
standalone gateway to communicate with user applications via a serial interface. The serial
interface transports a byte stream-based protocol that provides MeshScape API equivalent
functionality. The commands operate in both a query/response and an autonomous event
notification manner.
