The ACTiSYS ACT-IR224UN is a programmable infrared adapter for the USB port. It is user configurable to emulate the functionality mode of one of the following "classic" (serial) adapters: ACT-IR220LN, ACT-IR220Li, ACT-IR220L, ACT-IR220L+. Furthermore it provides compatibility with the following devices: JetEYE 9680 Level Mode & Pulse Mode, IFSYS 8001A Level & Pulse Mode. The adapter can also be preset to a certain configuration according to customer's demand.

This adapter is therefore ideal for flexible usage. If only a USB port is available but your application was written for a serial connection to an infrared device, this adapter will enable you to continue to use the application. The prolific chip used in this infrared adapter provides the needed USB-to-serial functionality and creates a virtual COM port, which can be accessed from your application.

The adapter then allows direct access to the different functions of the emulated "classic" infared devices - e.g. the RawIR mode of the IR220LN series, or the IrDA mode of the IR220L+ series.
