485 interface protocols. As a result, users do not have yo concerned about which interface is provided by individual instrument that may
want to intergrate into system. By using these standard instrument drivers PowerPro III can incoporated almost any modern test device.
Higher compatibility
Application Programming Interface
When users want to change the equipment from one brand to the others, for traditional ATS design, users are prohibited to do that. The
main problem is caused by the different format of the remote commands. Chroma PowerPro III provides a unique application programming
interface which interprets the different remote commands of various instrument to a standard format. Thus, if the functions of two equipment
are identical, even manufactured by two different suppliers, they still can be replaced directly by adding a new application programming
interface driver in Chroma ATS software, PowerPro III.

provides users with an open software architecture suited for a wide range of applications and devices.
