Software Introduction:
* USB-I2C Classic: The most basic I2C data sending and receiving (support slave mode). It is recommended to use it when data processing is not complicated or data volume is not large.
* USB-I2C EEPROM: Specially read and write data to the EEPROM memory of I2C interface, which is very convenient when writing or reading data to the EEPROM chip of I2C interface. The software can only be used in hardware I2C (standard mode, two channels), and the EEPROM chip address can be modified on the software interface.
* USB-I2C Extend: Data sending or reading can be pre-edited in a list, and the software can read and write data according to the operation mode of list editing. It is recommended to use this software when more complex control is required for an I2C interface chip.
* For USB-I2C PMBus: It is a software specifically designed for PMBus and SMBus bus control. According to  bus protocols for PMBus & SMBus to send and receive data, it can edit command list for a certain SMBus or PMBus bus chip, the software will send and receive data according to the command list (also can be used as a regular I2C bus data sending and receiving).
* USB-I2C Classic (For Android): It can realize I2C bus data transmission and reception, and the side for Android also has a corresponding interface function library.
* BootLoader: Use this software to upgrade or replace the adapter's firmware. At the same time, users can write their own key and check this key in their own applications to achieve an encryption function for the products they designed (or secondary development).

* A software that can adjust the PWM signal output in real time is realized by the PWM output function of the adapter.
* Serial port debugging assistant available for the adapter can also be used as an ordinary serial debugging assistant.
