The PIO-32.PCI provides 32 channels of digital I/O configurable as inputs or
outputs, which can be utilized for PC based control and automation of
equipment. Uses include sensors, switches, satellite antenna control systems,
video and audio studio automation, security control systems, and other
industrial automation systems.
The PIO-32.PCI's 32 channels consist of 4 ports of I/O, each port
configurable as either input or output, to suit the task at hand. The status of each
of the 4 ports is user selectable as input or output by simply writing a control
word to the port register. This gives the user the ability to customize the
combination of inputs and outputs as needed.

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.
