PoKeys57U USB-Module

PoKeys57U is an easy-to-use USB device that combines a lot of inputs and outputs, and does not require complex programming knowledge. Pokeys57 provides 55 digital I/O (5V tolerant), 7 analog inputs (12-bit). All the I/O are controlled by the provided software which allows either to use the graphical user interface or advanced console type interface. The settings can be stored on the device, so no special software is needed on target system. PoKeys57 can be used as industrial or CNC control or data acquisition board. PoKeys is available with (PoKeys57UT) or without (PoKeys57UN) screw terminals.
