System Level Interfacing
An E²Brain™ application sub-system is comprised of an E²Brain™ computer core and a sim-
plified application interface (SAI). In this case, the EBC2 is the SAI, whereby its application
functionality is to support E²Brain™ solutions development. The interfaces available on the
EBC2 are representative of typical E²Brain™ application requirements and are best suited for
application development. The following figure demonstrates the basic interfacing relationship
of the E²Brain™ module to the EBC2 SAI. The following table provides a legend for Figure 1-3.
