Programming Serial Data Acquisition Products

The ADU interfaces (USB) allow data acquisition and control using ASCII commands sent and received via a USB port. A mini-driver ( DLL ) is provided for use with any Windows based development software. Tutorials on programming the ADU interfaces using popular programming languages can be accessed using links below. Start by first viewing ADU Interface commands and using ADUHIDTest to test your hardware and become familiar with the command set. Next, select a tutorial in the language of your choice to view sample programs

The ADR interfaces (RS232) allow data acquisition and control using ASCII commands sent and recieved via a serial port. No drivers are required for any programming language, making them ideal for custom applications. Tutorials on programming the ADR interfaces using popular programming languages can be accessed using links below. Start by first viewing the ADR Interface commands, a listing of ASCII strings, and then select the programming language of your choice to view examples. Your language of choice may not be listed but almost all languages allow control via serial ports. Check your programmers reference guide under "RS232", "Com Ports" or "serial ports".
