DATAQ Instruments Application Notes and News
USB DAQ Products Support LibUSB and CDC
The native communication mode of most of our USB data acquisition (USB DAQ) products is LibUSB, a cross-platform standard that supports many USB products.

This is not distributed with our application because it is normally installed as part of Windows. That folder is hidden, Read More
