SEALINK DIO-16 User Manual
Introduction 
The SeaLINK DIO-16 provides 8 Reed relays that can latch power, data or other 
electronic signals for control applications and 8 optically isolated inputs to allow 
monitoring of off board switch closures, relays or for any other general purpose 
monitoring needs. The adapter is USB 1.1 compliant. 
The SEALINK DIO-16 is designed to be used under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. The 
SeaI/O API (Application Programmer Interface) included on CD with the SEALINK 
DIO-16 provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented in a 
Windows dynamic link library (DLL). This API gives access to the SeaLINK DIO-
16 I/O from Windows-based platforms such as Visual C++. In addition to the API, 
SeaI/O includes an ActiveX control along with sample code and utilities to simplify 
software development.
