The COMpad-32B and COMpad-85B PCMCIA Type II
communication cards add 2 or 4 RS-232 or RS-422/485 ports
to a notebook PC for attaching serial devices, such as
modems, bar code scanners, GPS receivers, digital cameras,
PLCs, CNCs, data collection gear, lab equipment, etc. It
turns the notebook into a mobile data acquisition and data
control equipment, for example, a notebook-based Data
Scope or data logger.
Each COMpad-32B/85B comes with Windows NT,
Windows 95/98 and DOS drivers. For DOS, powerful
developing library and useful utilities are also included.
The library supports most common languages, including
C, Pascal, Quick Basic, Assembly and Clipper. The utilities
include a DataScope data viewer, a terminal emulator, and
self-diagnostic utilities for easy troubleshooting and
debugging. For serial comm developing tools under
Windows NT and Windows 95/98, PComm Pro is optionally
available.
