• Enclosure mounted LED and Key switch accessible with BASIC commands
• Audio beeper with programmable tone and duration
• Parallel printer port option for listing programs or reporting data

Software

• Supports over 110 standard BASIC and unique data acquisition and control commands
• Programmable background analog data acquisition simplifies repetitive data collection
• High speed 32 bit counter counts digital pulses up to 10 kHz.
• Independently programmable range, offset and digital filters for each analog channel
• Accepts remote serial commands while runnign without disturbing the program
• Programmable 32 bit timer, timer interrupt and delay functions with 5 ms. resolution
• Online help summary and detailed help for all commands
• Built-in XMODEM CRC protocol for exchanging programs error free with a remote computer
• Automatically loads and runs "AUTORUN.BAS" program if found on power up
• Integrated single line text editor for BASIC programming and I/O (assumes VT100 emulation)
• Communicating with the BASIC BOX™ works very well with Windows™ built-in Hyper Terminal program or Procomm™ configured as a VT100 terminal
