To replace obsolete components typically requires a great deal of software effort because there are
often many test program sets that need to be changed. VXI Technology has greatly simplified this
task by developing a translation driver set for the 73A308. The translation driver takes function
calls to the 73A308 and converts them to VTI73A308 calls. The result is that any code written to
operate with the 73A308 can be used, without modification, when an VTI73A308 is installed in its
place.

Exceptions
1.) tk73a308_ConfigureDataBuffering function is not supported. The vti73a308 does not provide
buffering of input commands. It is a register based device. A call to the
tk73a308_ConfigureDataBuffering function will return a VI_SUCCESS if bufferMode is set to
tk73a308_OFF, and an error if the bufferMode is set to tk73a308_ON.
