About the 4-Channel Analog Output and Digital Input Control Module

BLS-IO04-US: Digital input and analog output control module. Four (4) independent channels. Each channel has an external trigger input (TTL) and an analog voltage output (0-5V). All input/output are BNC-connectorized.

The BLS-IO04-U is a control box that offers 4 independent analog outputs and 4 digital inputs. With a selectable USB2.0 or a RS232 connection the user has the ability to program the analog output of each channel through either the included software or the SDK. One application of the BLS-IO04-U is to pair it with Mightex’s BLS-Series Manual/analog LED controllers, to allow the user to control their LED light sources through software or SDK on their PC.

Features

  • Four (4) independent channels.
  • One external input trigger (TTL) and one analog voltage output (0-5V) per channel.
  • All I/O are BNC-connectorized.
  • Works with up to four (4) BioLED Manual/Analog Controlled LED Controllers to control four (4) LED’s.
  • Thirty-two (32) customizable waveforms, each can be paired with any of the four channels.
  • Program up to 1024 channel/waveform pairs in a sequence. 1
  • 1. Sequence repeat after all 1024 pairs are generated.
