A method and system for creating a protocol dependent control path for
instrument applications. In a representative embodiment, identifications
of a client, of an instrument application, of a client specific protocol,
and of an application specific protocol are obtained. The client is
configured to invoke the application and to communicate using the client
specific protocol. The application is configured to communicate using the
application specific protocol. Then a control path between the client and
the application is automatically created. In another representative
embodiment, a system for creating the protocol dependent control path for
instrument applications includes a management logic module configured to
obtain identification of the client, to obtain identification of the
instrument application, to obtain identification of the client specific
protocol, to obtain identification of the application specific protocol,
and to automatically create the control path between the client and the
application.
