Hi,

Is it possible to connect and control 8x K8061 cards and 2x K8000 without interrupting each other?
And same question for the K8055

(Or is there a simple way to convert the analog output of a K8061 to 8 digital outputs?)

[quote]The K8061 is an USB card and K8000 an LPT port connected card. [/quote]There shouldn’t be any problems to run both at the same time.

You can use 4x K8055 and 8x K8061 in the same PC.

[quote](Or is there a simple way to convert the analog output of a K8061 to 8 digital outputs?)[/quote]It is possible to use analog outputs as digital. Just send the max value or zero to the analog output pin. - Maybe a simple subroutine is good to use to convert the digital byte to analog values…

Thanks for the answer about the combining of the interface cards. It’s very clear now.

I know you are here for Velleman answers only, but maybe you have a great answer. 8)
What i mean with

is, can i convert 1x 0-10V output to 8 Digital outputs.
I found several ADC IC’s but the all have a Serial out in stead of a parallel out.

Anyway, Great support on this forum. Thanks Velleman :wink:

In the K8061 you can use the functions SetAnalogChannel(…) and ClearAnalogChannel(…) to get digital output from the analog outputs.
