The CALS-2000 ™ is a patented revolutionary Computer
Aided Learning System for your Windows-based computer that uses
magnetic sockets to hold components on conductive paths! Just
hook up your existing computer and printer to the CALS-2000
™ and you are on your way to learning circuit building
and understanding how different components function. The computer’s
audio system is used as an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer.
Other features include three-level logic-state indicators, speaker
and earphone jack, 9 volt, 5 volt, and -9 volt DC power
supplies, serial communication port, 8” x 10” work
area for large experiments, complete instructions for all experiments
on CD, and two variable resistor controls. Load in the CD and
you have over 500 experiments, including the construction of
a complete AM radio station. CALS comes with full glossary for
every word used and calculators for resistor color codes, time
constants, Ohm’s Law, amplifier gain, and decimal to binary!
It even comes with a set of FCC rules and regulations. Battery
or AC operation.
System Requirements: Windows 95 or better, CD-ROM drive, and
10MB hard drive space required.
This compact PC-driven sampler
monitors voltage changes over periods ranging from milliseconds
to months. It can also be used as a simple low frequency digital
scope to examine audio and other signals up to 5KHz. No batteries
are required as it is powered from the computer's parallel port.
Specifications:
Connects to the PC parallel port.
Will sample 0-2V or 0-20V at intervals of once per hour, down
to once every 100uS.
Entire circuit is contained in an extended D-Shell case (included).
Includes Windows software.
Resolution is 10mV on the 2V scale, and 100mV on the 20V scale.
Records one channel of data.
The K8055 usb interface board
has 5 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels. In
addition, there are two analogue inputs and two analogue outputs
with 8 bit resolution. The number of inputs/outputs can be further
expanded by connecting more (up to a maximum of four) cards to
the PC's USB connectors. All communication routines are contained
in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). You may write custom Windows
(98SE, 2000, Me, XP) applications in Delphi, Visual Basic, C++
Builder or any other 32-bit Windows application development tool
that supports calls to a DLL.
