ADACSNET

USB CONTROL MODULE

The ADACSNET SensorNet USB Control
Module provides the tools necessary to program,
control, monitor and upgrade American
Dynamics’ SpeedDomes. A suite of utilities has
been developed for this purpose. The first
component of this utility package allows the
user to program and control a SpeedDome
through the USB port on a laptop or PC using a
“virtual” TouchTracker.
With this capability, field or bench testing of a
dome just got that much easier. Also included
is the ability to monitor the SensorNet protocol
communication flow and even update a

®

SpeedDome
the latest release. Now there is no need to climb
a ladder or rent a lift to upgrade your American
Dynamics’ SpeedDome.
These utilities and associated files are
