Interface
Simplicity:
|
|
-
Format
versatility
|
ASCII commands and data are sent over the serial port (in
either Decimal, Hexadecimal or Binary format.)
|
|
-
Interface ease
|
Easy to interface to any serial port via RS232/422/423/485
links.
|
|
-
Control
|
Remote (modem) or local control. Remote operation is
possible via a phone link using a modem chip in place of the RS-232 voltage driver.
|
|
-
Compatibility
|
ITC232-A can be used with popular terminal and data
acquisition software packages.
|
|
- Ease of access
|
A downloadable DLL is available for controlling the
ITC232-A.
|
|
Flexible I/O
|
|
|
-
Ports
|
3 general purpose 8 bit I/O ports.
|
|
-
Pins
|
24 I/O pins can be configured as IN or
OUT
|
|
-
Verification
|
All I/O pins provide read back verification.
|
|
-
Data type
|
Serial and parallel data I/O
(SPI).
|
|
Powerful
Built-in
Functions |
|
|
-
Direct
measurement |
Direct measurement of relative capacitance or resistance. |
|
-
Stepping
motor ports |
Three stepping motor ports with all the necessary logic to
instrument monophasic, biphasic and half-step stepping modes. Emphasis has been placed in
making the stepper interface easy to use. Stepping rates from 10 to 4000
steps/second.
|
|
-
Variable
pulse |
Variable width/frequency pulse (PWM) generation (10-10000
Hz, 0-100% duty cycle). |
|
-
Help
functions
|
Built in Help functions.
|
|
-
Easy
repeat
|
A 1 keystroke "Again" command to repeat the
previous command. |
|
-
Interrupt
recognition
|
High and Low multiple interrupt recognition via 2 pins; IRQH
and IRQL. |
|
-
Selectable
Baud rate |
Hardware and software selectable Baud rate over the
300-115200 range.
|
|
-
Specialized channels
|
Four channels for reading relative resistance or
capacitance.
|
|
-
Immediate help
|
On-screen help (a summary of all commands is sent to the
terminal).
|
|
-
Easy access to active configuration
|
A configuration report feature which sends the active
configuration of any parallel port, the PWM or the stepper motor ports back to the
terminal.
