Output module outputs values or character strings which the module reads
from strings and variable. The modules for these interfaces are on the
Modules tab of the browser under Inputs/Outputs»RS232.

Use the RS232 monitor to configure an external device. You can send strings
and read in measurement values to see immediately whether the data contains
control characters.

The IEEE-488 Interface

DASYLab receives data from hardware connected to IEEE boards via the
IEEE-488 interface or DASYLab outputs data via this hardware. The
modules for these interfaces are on the Modules tab of the browser under
Inputs/Outputs»IEEE 488.

You can operate up to 15 measurement devices on one IEEE board. If you
output data to several devices, you must insert a separate IEEE Output
module for each measurement device and in the worksheet each device must
use a different device number.

The IVI Interface

DASYLab receives data from hardware devices, which support the IVI
interface (Interchangeable Virtual Instrument). The modules IVI Counter,
IVI DCPower, IVI Digital Multimeter, IVI Switch, and IVI Scope are on
the Modules tab of the browser under Inputs/Outputs»IVI.
