A system and method for creating a high-level application programming interface allows simplified control and usage of digital data being transported over an IEEE 1394 serial bus under a variety of operational environments. The system and method of controlling communications on a communications bus includes determining a number of adapters attached to the communications bus, establishing a link between an application program and one or more of the adapters; allocating buffers for data transfer; mapping a memory buffer to a space in storage associated with the communications bus; and executing the applications program.
