The value of such a universal +interface is that it allows writing just one driver per image acquisition +device rather than one driver for each device and application. So, if you +have three applications and four devices, traditionally you'd have had to +write 12 different programs. With SANE, this number is reduced to seven: +the three applications plus the four drivers. Of course, the savings get +even bigger as more and more drivers and/or applications are added. |
