USB Foot Pedal

A USB foot pedal is a foot pedal which can be used with a computer via USB connection. This is one of the connection types we offer at Herga.

Applications for USB Foot Pedals 

Image capture is a common application for our USB foot pedals; this involves using a foot pedal to take an x-ray or photo. Using a foot pedal for image capture gives the professional full use of their hands during this process. The section of the body being diagnosed can be manipulated with the hands and moved/held in place whilst the foot is used to capture the image.

Another common application is press to talk. USB footswitches are used within call centres or police control rooms. The foot pedal is connected to the phone so that the user can answer calls hands free giving them the ability to multitask.
