Remote control over data collection

These devices may not have shell access.  Further, users may want to take measurements on multiple devices concurrently.

Low-overhead data collection

Since these devices are often resource constrained.

Support for offline analysis

The analysis of collected measurements would be best done in a more capable desktop or server environment.

Support for diverse PMC hardware

These devices typically use a variety of system designs.

Forward & backward API compatibility

These devices may be using older versions of Mensurae but may need work with a later version of Mensurae’s control software running on a server or desktop.

Forward & backward data compatibility

The data generated by these devices should be usable on a server or desktop that is running a different version of Mensurae.

Zero-configuration / Auto-discovery

When Mensurae is enabled on the device, it should be easy for control software running elsewhere to find the device on the network and connect to it.
