We have seen all types of USB devices being connected and shared on wired and wireless networks over the years. Printers, Scanners, and Multifunction printers have probably been the most popular. We have seen many other applications as well including sewing machines, iPods, lab instruments, cameras, and more. Recently, a popular application has been to connect USB data acquisition and control devices. These devices allow you to read the output of sensors which measure voltage, current, power, temperature, humidity, wind speed, force, pressure, strain, acceleration, RPM, light intensity, sound intensity, gas concentration, position, and many more. You can also control things like motors, lights, solenoids, relays, valves, and more. The USB acquisition and control device brings this data into a computer where it can be stored and processed into a monitoring or control application. The Silex USB Device Servers allow these devices to be shared by multiple computers, and also to allow flexible placement of the USB device in a wired or wireless environment. One of these companies that makes these USB data devices is Labjack. They wrote up a nice FAQ on connecting their devices using "USB over IP" with a product like the ones from Silex: [http://labjack.com/support/app-notes/usb-via-other](http://labjack.com/support/app-notes/usb-via-other) [![](https://www.silextechnology.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wireless-usb-u3-silex.png?width=510&height=387&name=wireless-usb-u3-silex.png)](http://labjack.com/support/app-notes/usb-via-other) Silex offers a robust lineup of USB Device Servers for this application.
