| Example Config File: | None |
This adapter lets you use a NEOS AOTF (and other shutter devices that can be controlled with a TTL) as a shutter using just your PCs parallel port. The pins on the parallel port are addressed using a binary mask with a maximum value of 1024 (so that you can address the first 10 pins of the parallel port). Each pin (or a combination thereof) can be declared to be a shutter.
In general, it is a better approach to use a DAQ board to control an AOTF (since that will also give you control of intensity). However, this adapter might still be useful to use TTLs in a very cost-effective way.
This adapter uses the inpout.dll [1]to talk to the parallel port.
