Technical Description
Technical Description
The PIO-24.PCI provides 24 channels of digital I/O configurable as inputs or outputs, which can
be utilized for PC based control and automation of equipment including: sensors, switches,
satellite antenna control systems, video and audio studio automation, security control systems,
and other industrial automation systems.
Windows Software
The PIO-24.PCI ships with Sealevel Systems' SeaI/O suite of Windows 98/NT/ME/2000
drivers. SeaI/O provides the user with a consistent and straightforward API, allowing the
developer to concentrate on the details of the application as opposed to low level driver
development. Popular development environments, including Visual C++, Visual Basic, and
Delphi, are supported for application development. SeaI/O includes a utility for configuring the
driver parameters under Windows, further simplifying installation. Sample applications are
included to facilitate rapid application development.
Linux Software
The PIO-24.PCI ships with software for Linux, including a kernel-mode driver, API, and the
SeaIOTst diagnostic tool. The kernel-mode driver is provided as a module, so future driver
upgrades may be performed with minimal (usually zero) downtime. The Linux API is identical to
its Windows counterpart, facilitating quick and easy ports of existing SeaI/O-aware applications
to the Linux operating system. All source code for the Linux software suite is provided under
the GNU Public License (GPL v2.0), to assist in "roll-your-own"-type applications.
