Ver.1.00 PCI-compliant Features 2 port Isolated RS-232C COM-2CL-PCI - 230,400bps (max) RS-232C Serial Communication COM-2CL-PCI – two RS-232C-compliant serial ports. COM-4CL-PCI – four RS-232C-compliant serial ports. Baud rates from 15 to 230,400 bps – user selectable. - Boards can be used as standard serial ports when ® operating in a Windows environment These products come with a driver library that allows the boards ® to be used under Windows in the same way as COM ports on a ® PC. Under Windows , these boards support the OS-standard Win32 API communication function as well as Visual Basic MSComm. The driver library also includes a diagnostic program to confirm hardware operation and to perform communication PCI-compliant tests. 4 port Isolated RS-232C - 16 boards (max) can be installed with an access range COM-4CL-PCI from COM1 to COM256. Up to 16 boards can be installed in a single PC. COM1 - COM256 can be set using the device manager. - Each channel is equipped with separate 64-byte FIFO buffers for transmit and receive. Each individual channel has FIFO buffer memory (transmission: 64 bytes, reception: 64 bytes). This feature is useful for high speed communications and to reduce the load to the CPU during transmitting/receiving. - COM-2CL-PCI uses the same standard 9-pin D-SUB connectors that are used on a PC. This board has a general-purpose RS-232C 9-pin D-SUB connector, allowing you to use standard commercial RS-232C These PCI boards were designed for extending RS-232C cables. compatible serial communication functionality on your PC. COM-2CL-PCI has two RS-232C communication ports. - Available cables and connectors [optional]. COM-4CL-PCI has four RS-232C communication ports. With a 64byte built-in FIFO buffer for transmission and COM-2CL-PCI:Straight cables (1.8m), cross cables (1.8m) and reception of each channel, the product supports a baud ® 9-pin D-SUB connectors (both male and female) for creating your rate of up to 230,400bps.
