ABSTRACT:
Mechanisms and techniques provide a data acquisition basic input output system between a central controller and a set of modules networked to the central controller. The central controller obtains at least one command to be sent to at least one module of the set of modules networked to the central controller and composing a request message containing the command. The request message has an associated timing pattern selected from a plurality of available timing patterns, such as a fixed timing pattern or a variable timing pattern. The central controller transmits the request message to the module(s) according to the associated timing pattern and receives, according to the associated timing pattern, a response message from the module(s). The data acquisition basic input output system communications do not require reliance on transport layer protocols or collision avoidance techniques.
