They are also used in the commercial sector in products for testing tanks and pipelines, 3D laser profiling and many other applications. Universities and research students commonly apply QuickUSB to experimental control. Our customers for these units include CERN, the European Large Hadron Collider, other Nuclear research labs and lots of astronomical observatories who deal with vast amounts of dat. They come with complete driver packages and libraries to integrate them into your own job. The QuickUSB modules are much more advanced units that implement Hi-speed USB (480 Mbps) for rapid data transfer. They can support data transfer at up to 500 Kbaud, with software (XON/XOFF) or hardware flow control and programmable VID/PID for your own application. This is useful for more advanced applications or to fit with an existing software profile. We have simple cables that appear as Virtual COM Ports as well as more advanced serial to USB converters that include DLL packages to give you more control in your own software. We also have products to support other serial port profiles such as RS422 and RS485. It is often easier (and cheaper) to create new applications with a serial port and use an external adapter for PC connection. There are lots of products out there with serial port interfaces but PCs rarely support RS232 nowadays. We stock everything from simple serial to USB cables to sophisticated FPGA modules for serial port to USB conversion.
