What is QMI?

Figure 1: An example of three QMI contexts where
two instrument device drivers are added to QMI context 1. Then we have
context 2, that runs a task, which is configured to make connection to
context one, and to control the instruments in it. This second contexts
now sends also out settings and status signals which
can e.g. be forwarder to a database. A third context monitors the task
status in context two and instrument status in context one. This context
is hooked in the status signal and at specific signal values or
circumstances could either tell context two to change settings or stop
task, or send specific commands to the instruments in context one.
