* External control interface devices are often referred to as Data Acquisition cards, Input/Output (I/O) cards or interface boards.  They perform the task of converting the digital data from a computer to analog data and signals, and vice versa.  These analog data and signals can be used by electrical devices such as motors, lights, light sensors, temperature sensors, etc.  You would use external control interface devices, for example, to implement home automation or laboratory data logging.
