Synchronous serial connectivity is an appropriate choice
when rigorous security and intensive data integrity
protocols are required for high-speed serial
communication. It is the communication method of
choice for a wide variety of military and commercial
systems such as satellite monitoring, radar control, GPS
systems, flight recorder data transfers, and HF (High
Frequency) e-mail systems to name a few.
Quatech' s synchronous serial products are among the
most robust on the market, providing deep data FIFOs
for interrupt driven communication enabling data to be
moved to and from the SCC in large blocks resulting in
data speeds up to 4 Mbps (RS-422/485) or 600 kbps
(RS-232). The cards' SCC also provides a programmable
baud rate generator and digital phase-lock loop (DPLL)
for recovering data clocking from received data streams.
SyncDrive Plus (for Windows 2000/XP) and SyncDrive
(for Windows 95/98/Me, DOS and OS/2), are frame-level
synchronous communication drivers included with all
synchronous products. While not application programs
themselves, the SyncDrive (Plus) package provides C
callable routines and C data structures designed to aid
in the development of application software.

SyncDrive (Plus) is a frame-level synchronous communication driver implemented by a DLL and a device driver. Applications interface
to SyncDrive (Plus) through C callable routines and C data structures.The routines provide services for channel configuration, transmit-
ting a buffer, receiving a buffer, setting and monitoring I/O status. Once a handle is opened to the device driver, the application simply
reads and writes frames as it would files, without worrying about buffer management, interrupts, or register handling.SyncDrive (Plus)
handles start and end flags, synchronization characters, and CRC information on transmit and receive.The C data structures used are
for configuration, transmitting and receiving buffers.
