• Insert the included CD in your CD-ROM player.
Use the following procedure if the CD does not start up automatically :
1. Run setup.exe from the directory 'K8055_VM110 USB board/Demo PC soft install'
If the CD starts up automatically :
1. Choose "Browse this CD for other velleman software'
2. Run setup.exe from the directory 'K8055_VM110 USB
board/Demo PC soft install'
• An installation wizard will guide you trough the installation
procedure.
• By default the software is installed in the folder :
'C:\Program Files\Velleman\K8055'.

Control & indicators
5 digital inputs (e.g. push button, switch, relay contact, ...). Input is generally "high" (1), connection to GND makes the input
"low" (0).
Analogue inputs (e.g. temperature sensor, potentiometer, ...) 0 ... +5VDC MAX!
If the jumper is mounted, then you can use the internal voltage and adjust it using RV2/RV1. If the jumper is not mounted you
must use the external voltage A2/A1.

Analogue outputs :
• 2 analogue outputs with an output voltage between 0 and +5V (impedance 1K5).
• 2 PWM outputs with a pulse width modulation between 0 and 100%.
Digital outputs :
• 8 open collector contacts, to be connected with suitable inputs.

The included demo software makes it easy to experiment.
Start by selecting the address : tick off SK5 and/or SK6 (see address selection).
ATTENTION : Execute these settings before connecting the kit with the computer or before booting the computer.
 Connect the USB cable.
 LED LD3 'Power' lights up if the connection has been executed
properly.
 After start-up LD8 (output 8) will flash momentarily to indicate that
the circuit works as it should.
 Start the program 'K8055_Demo.exe'.
Next press the 'connect' button to connect the K8055 with the com-
puter.
The message "Card x connected" * is displayed if the connection is
successful, see fig.
* X is the number of the card.

You can now simulate the inputs via push buttons Inp1 through Inp5. The matching check box remains ticked off as long as you
keep one of the push buttons pressed down.
Always tick off the check box for the matching output if you wish to test a digital output.
You can also conduct this procedure automatically : press the 'output test' button or activate all outputs with the 'Set all digital'
button. Press the 'output test' button to test all digital outputs automatically.
Test the analogue outputs with the 'set all analog' button and modify the output voltage with DA1 & DA2
Counter 1 & 2 are hardware integrated 16-bit counters, they are triggered by INP1 & INP2.
You can test the counter with push buttons Inp1 and Inp2 : the counter adds 1every time one of these two buttons is pressed. The
debouncing control allows you to determine the reaction time of the counter (0ms - 2ms - 10ms - 1000ms).
You can use the internal analogue voltage to simulate the analogue input via potentiometers ATT1 (RV1) & ATT2 (RV2).
The scroll bars AD1 & AD2 change on the screen whenever you adjust the position of the potentiometers. The "digital" value (0 to
255) of this internal analogue voltage can be read directly under the scroll bars.
When the input voltage is too low you can amplify it x4 / x15.
The analogue inputs A1 and A2 have a standard range of 0 ~ +5Vdc. To use them externally, remove the jumper caps on SK2 and SK3.
The internal 5V voltage source can only be used for testing purposes.
A gain of x4 requires a resistance of 3K3 for R8 (input signal 1) and for R9 (input signal 2). A x15 gain requires a resistance of 820ohm.
When the gain is set to e.g. x4, the max. input voltage falls inversely proportional to 1,25V.
If you want a different gain factor you can calculate it quite easily using the following formula :
Gain A1 = 1 + (R10/R8) Gain A2 = 1 + (R11/R9)
