You could well be wasting your time.Given that managed .NET applications can easily be reverse engineered with Reflector[^] and even obfuscated ones with other open source tools such as simple-assembly-explorer[^] it would not be difficult for someone to circumvent your protection scheme.

Data from the Terasic DE10-Nano's built-in 3-axis accelerometer is measured on ALL 3 axes to show when the board is in motion. The raw output of the accelerometer is converted to g-force values by a sensor library and then sent to graphing software for data visualization and interpretation.

Generating 40 kHz square waves by software on a PC is typically not easy to do (frequency accuracy will vary widely based on how busy or not your PC is). And i'm not even sure if 40 kHZ is possible.But depending on the DAQ board you should be able to generate such a signal by using...

1. You can do that through BIOS. Can be altered quite easily though. 2. You can also change some registry entries to achieve this. Here[^] is a helpful link. Although, the users should not have access to registry or else they can enable it again.

As Collin has said, use the serial port to communicate with the MODBUS device. You'll probably need an adapter, though, as the usual implementation is RS-485, not the RS-232 port provided on a PC. As you'll discover when you Google around, MODBUS uses some weird data types, especially bit data,...

Sorry, that low-level functionality cannot be controlled from managed code, or even the Win32 API. $0.01 of electrical tape or black nail polish (from your local dollar store or goth chick) is cheap and does the job better than code.

In scientific projects, it is often needed to sample sounds from remote locations, for classification or other purposes. As data link rates may be low or unreliable, transmitting raw samples to inland processing centers may not be an option. An alternative is to do off-line processing in batches.
