USB EXPERIMENT INTERFACE BOARD

Description

This interface board has 5 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels. In addition, there are 2 analogue inputs and 2 analogue outputs with 8 bit resolution. The number of inputs/outputs can be further expanded by connecting more (up to a maximum of four) cards to the PC’s USB connectors. All communication routines are contained in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). You may write custom Windows (XP, Vista, Windows7) applications in Delphi, Visual Basic, C++ Builder or any other 32-bit Windows application development tool that supports calls to a DLL. Source code examples for Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#, Excel, Delphi and Borland C++ builder are available.

Hard- and software are downwards compatible with our previous versions.

This product is a replacement of: K8055N,K8055
