Activity Wheel Monitor USB Interface, Model 86056A

The Activity Wheel Monitor USB Interface Model 86056A may be used with Activity Wheel Counters 86060 and 86061, as well as with Model 86070 Counter/Controller. It replaces both the 86056 Serial Starter Interface and the 86057 Serial Expansion Interface. It is no longer necessary to daisy chain expansion boxes to the starter interface. Each interface can connect directly to the computer. Connect up to 15 wheel counters to a single interface and up to 8 interface units to a single computer with high-speed USB ports. Any powered USB hub may be used as needed. The maximum data collection capacity of the AWM Software is 120 wheels. The Model 86065 AWM Software package must be ordered separately. Upgrade pricing is available to existing users of older software.


ACTIVITY WHEEL MONITOR SOFTWARE Model 86065

AWM Version 7.7 is an example of a great product being made even better. This version was written to support the new USB wheel interface, model 86056A, any device (motor, brake, aux.) that can be controlled via the 86070 Counter/Controller, and all new forced exercise/walking beds with built in USB interface. At the same time it is still compatible with all serial port interfaces currently running on the 86056 & 86057 Interface System. Just a few of the new features and improvements are highlighted below. Contact Lafayette Instrument Co for new equipment purchase or existing equipment upgrades.
