SEALINK ISO-16 User Manual
Introduction
The SeaLINK ISO-16 provides sixteen optically isolated inputs (rated for 5-30V) for
monitoring off board switch closures, relays or any other general purpose
monitoring needs. The adapter is USB 1.1 compliant.
The SEALINK ISO-16 is designed to be used under Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. The
SeaI/O API (Application Programmer Interface) included on CD with the SEALINK
ISO-16 provides a variety of useful high-level function calls implemented in a
Windows dynamic link library (DLL). This API gives access to the SeaLINK ISO16 I/O from Windows-based platforms such as Visual C++. In addition to the API,
SeaI/O includes an ActiveX control along with sample code and utilities to simplify
software development.

Software Installation
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Installation
Important: Do not connect the SeaLINK ISO-16 adapter to the host USB device
until the software has been fully installed.
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically
launch. Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root
directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect
the operating environment and install the proper components. Next
(depending on your browser) select the ‘Run this program from its current
location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information presented on the screens
that follow.
7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be
determined due to the problems below: Authenticode signature not found.”
Please select the ‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation. This
declaration simply means that the Operating System is not aware of the
driver being loaded. It will not cause any harm to your system.
8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other preferred
configurations. This program also adds entries to the system registry that are
necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each driver. An
uninstall option is also included to remove all registry/INI file entries from
the system.
Windows NT Note: Windows NT is not USB aware and thus cannot support the
SeaLINK ISO-16.
