The transfer rate describes the capabilities of the hardware components and circuits of dSPACE products. Depending on the
software complexity the attainable overall performance can deviate significantly from the hardware specification.
DS815 Link Board (PC)
The DS815 (to be installed in the host PC) is a PC card and provides a
PCMCIA link to the DS814 Link Board (Box), a DS830 Multilink Panel
or MicroAutoBox. The DS815 always works in Plug & Play mode.
