The "Hawk" range of boards is aimed more at the student, control engineer or computer programmer who needs to get into the world of computer automation for a particular task / project. Although fully working software applications are provided with all boards to get a manual control system up and running quickly, the final system is envisaged as being written in the users favoured programming language (eg C, C++, Visual Basic etc...). To this end comprehensive libraries of DLL functions are provided to make the process of writing your own software much easier. Source code of fully working examples written for each of these boards is included on the installation disk with each board. All boards in this range use the USB 2.0 standard (also backward comptible with USB 1.0). Software and user manuals are available for download at this link downloads
