* Example: Payload transmission of 64 Byte at 25 µs sampling time or 3100 Byte at 1 ms.

Besides the mere hardware parameters the usability of board and devices in combination with a certain operational mode depends also on the iba software application.

Not all of iba application software products support all modes or cards at the time.

The following table shows the supported combinations of modes of operation and software applications:
