ASN.1(ID:1070/asn001)

Abstract Syntax Notation 

Abstract Syntax Notation. Data description language, designed for the exchange of structured data over networks. Derived from the 1984 standard CCITT X.408 used to describe the syntax of messages in the X.400 mail system. Used by the Natl Center for Biotechnology Information. CCITT, ITU TS X.208 (1988), ISO 8824.

Behavioural models have been proposed for the different kinds of Power Converters and the corresponding functionalities, with their parameters, variables and attributes have been identified. The resulting data structures have been presented using the ISO ASN.1 metalanguage, that permits universal representation independent of any computer environment. Implementations in the Unix-based CERN accelerator systems are under development.
