Abstract
In this paper, we present a framework which is used to develop, modify, maintain and extend a control and monitoring software easily for any kind of automatic instruments. The proposed framework is composed of three XML documents (IID, MAP, CMIML) and two tools (Virtual Instrument Wizard, Generator). Interface information of behaviors and states of instrument is written on IID. Mapping information between the interface information in IID and API of a real instrument driver is written on MAP Final information of the control and monitoring software is written on CMIML, IID, MAP and CMIML are written by XML format to provide a common usage and platform independence of the proposed framework. Vl Wizard generates CMIML intermediate platform independent document using IID and existing CMIML, and Generator generates the source code of a control and monitoring software platform dependent code automatically using CMIML and MAP. The suggested framework provides an easy development and maintenance because it automatically generates a control and monitoring software in GUI environment and it also provides common usage and platform independence in virtue of using description document of XML format. Also, reusability can be increased by reusing platform independent software description document and not reusing platform dependent software code.
