Software
The USB-16REL ships with the SeaI/O suite of Windows 98/ME/2000 drivers. SeaI/O provides the
user with a consistent and straightforward API, allowing the developer to concentrate on the
details of the application as opposed to low level driver development. Popular development
environments are supported for application development. SeaI/O includes sample applications
and a utility for configuring the driver parameters under Windows, further simplifying
installation.

Interface
Most modern operating systems do not allow direct hardware access. The SeaI/O driver and API
have been included to provide control over the hardware in Windows. The purpose of this section
of the manual is to help the customer with the mapping of the API to the actual I/O and relays for
the USB-16REL specifically. Complete documentation of the API can be found in the SeaI/O help
file.
