USB i/o device for GigE camera system interface

We've had good luck using the Labjack brand of USB i/o devices as a means to get a GigE camera system to communicate with external devices. GigE cameras only have a trigger input and a strobe signal.  You need some type of device to turn on a light, eject a part, whatever...... Labjack has both USB and Ethernet devices that you can put on your network. Their SDK allows you to integrate them into your system.  The base device only allows 5vdc but you can get a chip that will allow 24vdc.  So hard to find an i/o card that fits in today's PCs.  The Labjack solves this problem.  Contact us for more info.
