5 Interfaces
The «IC Net» program supports remote control for interfaces
available from Metrohm and Bischoff. Interfaces generally convert
analog signals to digital form, which can be handled by the com-
puter. Interfaces are stored as device files ( *.dev ) in the Devices
directory. All Metrohm interfaces and Metrohm devices start
with Me*.dev ; all Bischoff interfaces and Bischoff devices start
with Bi*.dev .
