'Test Program for Velleman K8055 USB Interface Card by David Deane, Vidalia, GA. Jan 2, 2010
'Free for Educational Use
'The VB6 sample code works fine, but I was never able to get the program to work with
'Visual Basic Express 2008
'This code works in Liberty Basic, but you will need to the Gold edition to create executable files.
' I have tried to use most of the DLL calls available to test for channel and returned values.
'The card must have both address jumpers installed to be Connected as Addr(0)
'Tested with the K8055 card Jan 2, 2002
'Rev2 uses checkboxes and textboxes to output data and continuous input checking
