libTRF (C/C++) API
In the expanding world of spectrum analysis, a seamless interface between software and hardware has become pivotal. thinkRF API stands out as an innovative solution, ensuring smooth and powerful interfacing with real-time spectrum analyzers. This API is designed to offer numerous benefits to programmers, offering them extensive features, powerful processing tools, and a user-friendly platform.
SCPI & VITA VRT
Compliance with standard protocols provides you both multi-vendor independence and device interoperability.
thinkRF supports the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) for control and the VITA-49 Radio Transport (VRT) protocol for data flow.
thinkRF provides high-level functions and examples for programming and interfacing at the SCPI and VITA-49 VRT level in each of thinkRF’s APIs.
Legacy APIs
If you are an existing customer with previous APIs (C/C++, MATLAB, pyRF3, LABVIEW), you can still download the APIs; however, they are no longer supported, i.e. no more new releases.
