Introduction

SeaDAC Lite™ USB digital I/O modules provide a low I/O count solution in a small, rugged enclosure. Models are available with optically isolated inputs, Reed or Form C relay and TTL outputs. SeaDAC Lite modules are powered by the USB port, eliminating external power supplies.

SeaDAC Lite modules integrate a SeaLATCH™ USB port that provides a secure metal-to-metal connection and prevents accidental cable disconnection. SeaLATCH connectors are fully compatible with standard USB cables.

For easy software integration, application programs or 3rd party software can use Sealevel’s SeaMAX library that includes a variety of helpful diagnostic utilities and sample programs. SeaDAC Lite modules are supported under Windows 2000, XP and Vista™ operating systems.

For embedded system solutions, SeaDAC Lite modules are available in iPorthole™ versions with the “Intelligent Porthole” family of USB digital I/O products. Simply design the 3.2” x 3.1” Porthole mounting footprint into your enclosure to mix and match iPorthole USB I/O modules for maximum configurability. The Porthole footprint offers a standard method for interfacing real-world I/O connections.

SeaDAC Lite modules are USB 1.1 compliant, USB 2.0 compatible, and are powered by the USB port, eliminating external power supplies. OEM versions without enclosures or Porthole mounting plates are also available.
