Ø    NetForce Software for RS-232 Data Acquisition

The NetForce RS-232 serial interface supports our AccuSway and AccuGait force platforms and our MiniAmp operating in RS-232 mode.  The RS-232 interface provides a convenient configuration for operation with a laptop (or other) computer without a data acquisition card.
