What is IOGateway?
IOGateway is an ActiveX Control software package that provides you with a simple, unified way to communicate with a variety of interface boards (or I/O cards), e.g. Velleman k8055, DSE K2805, etc.
How does it help you?
IOGateway helps you to easily create, adapt and expand your project because of the following advantages:
- No matter how many different interface boards you use, you only need to deal with the one consistent set of interface functions, instead of all the different DLLs that come with various interface boards.
- The unification enables you to swap interface boards for your project without having to change your code.
- You can use multiple interface boards with your project – just create multiple instances of IOGateway.
To further ease your project development, IOGateway also comes with a utility for configuring and calibrating interface
boards. The utility has a generic, or common, user-interface for all supported interface boards, and it allows you to even change interface boards and their configuration during runtime.
Who can use IOGateway?
Engineers, technicians and hobbyist alike can use IOGateway with the
supported interface boards for Data Acquisition and System Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) projects or experiments.
Example uses are: data logging, home automation, environmental monitoring, model railroad control, laboratory use, school use.
