This section highlights other programming tools and test/measurement
instruments which may be of interest to the FTDI developer community.
All of these products are based on FTDI's FT2232C USB UART/FIFO or FT245BM USB FIFO devices
combined with FTDI's D2XX USB drivers and are good examples of how FTDI'
s USB technology can be implemented in practice.
