DGT Electronic Board DLL

The DGT Electronic Board DLL provides developers with an easy way to support the board and clock in windows applications. Besides this advantage, it is advisable to use the DLL for reasons of easy upgrading and after-market support.
The DLL uses the single board protocol and works with the Serial DGT Electronic Board and the new USB DGT Electronic Board.
