The USB Host Adapter for 1-Wire Network is a device driver that supports the operation of a 1-Wire network through a USB interface on a Windows-based computer. The 1-Wire network is a communication protocol developed by Dallas Semiconductor (now part of Maxim Integrated), used for connecting various devices such as temperature sensors, RFID tags, memory devices, and other sensors, over a single data line (hence "1-Wire"). The USB Host Adapter allows a computer to interface with and manage these 1-Wire devices via a USB port.
This USB adapter typically provides the bridge between the computer's USB port and the 1-Wire network, allowing software applications on the computer to communicate with the 1-Wire devices, gather data, or control the devices connected to the network.
