K8055: USB Experiment Interface Board

The K8055 interface board has 5 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels. In addition, there are two analogue inputs and two 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.

• AREMBEUSB ActiveX Control & Software Development Kit

  The AREMBEUSB ActiveX Control and Software Development Kit (SDK) is designed to allow up to four Velleman K8055 USB Experiment Interface Boards to be controlled from a PC computer. It offers an alternative to the software supplied by Velleman with the boards and makes it easier to incorporate control for them into programs written in many different languages.
