[google-translator]Notice: this interface is not designed as a simulator electric motor control, it is designed as hydraulic or pneumatic  valve control! Do use PID controllers for electric motors.
The K8055 interface board has 5 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels. In addition, there are two analogue inputs and two analogue outputs with 8 bit resolution. The number of inputs/outputs can be further expanded by connecting more (up to a maximum of four) cards to the PC’s USB connectors. All communication routines are contained in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). You may write custom Windows (98SE, 2000, Me, XP) applications in Delphi, Visual Basic, C++ Builder or any other 32-bit Windows application development tool that supports calls to a DLL.
Features

* DIAGNOSTIC / TEST SOFTWARE:
