Features

• It has 8ch RS-232C-standard serial ports. Baud rates from 2 to 921,600bps can be set for each port. When using the bundled [Standard COM Driver Software] and [Driver library API-PAC(W32)], baud rates from 15 to 921,600bps can be set.
• Comes with a driver software that allows the boards to be used under Windows / Linux in the same way as COM ports on the PC. Under Windows, the product supports the OS-standard Win32 API communication function as well as Visual Basic MSComm. Under Linux, OS-standard tty driver's standard-function can be used. In addition, supplies a diagnostic program to confirm hardware operation and to perform a communication test with equipment.
• Up to 16 boards can be mounted on a single PC. COM1 - COM256 can be set using the device manager.
• Employed a buffer memory 128-byte dedicated to transmission and 128-byte for each channel. These are FIFO format, useful for high speed communications and to reduce the load to the CPU when transmitting/receiving. As the device manager can be used to enable/disable the use of FIFO and set the FIFO trigger size, this permits operation to be adjusted to achiere optinal performance for your system.
• It prepares 8 channel distribution cable (PCE37/9PS, PCE37/25PS) and 37 pin D-SUB connectors (a male type or a female type) for my own cables with an option.
