a non-instrument specific section, called resident system,
an instrument specific section, called main system.

modules. Its properties are:
the complete communication capabilities (GPIB, CAN, LAN and RS-232C),
memory management,
ability to update the firmware of the main system.

error handling,
diagnostic functions and so on,
or module specific functions like
internal events such as motor control, flow rates and so on,
