Installing the USB-1208HS-4AO

What comes with your shipment?

The following items are shipped with the USB-1208HS-4AO:

Hardware

USB-1208HS-4AO

USB cable

Software

MCC DAQ CD

Documentation

In addition to this hardware user's guide, you should also receive the Quick Start Guide. This booklet provides

an overview of the MCC DAQ software you received with the device, and includes information about installing

the software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any software or hardware.

Unpacking

As with any electronic device, take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before

removing the USB-1208HS-4AO from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or touch either the

computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge. If the device is damaged, notify

Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or email.

Email: techsupport@mccdaq.com

For international customers, contact your local distributor. Refer to the International Distributors section on our

web site at www.mccdaq.com/International.

Installing the software

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the MCC DAQ CD. This booklet is

available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.

Installing the hardware

Be sure you are using the latest system software

Before you install the device, run Windows Update to update your operating system with the latest USB drivers.

Install the MCC DAQ software before you install your board

The driver needed to run your board is installed with the MCC DAQ software. Therefore, you need to install the

software before you install your board. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions.

To connect the USB-1208HS-4AO to your system, turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB

port on your computer or to an external USB hub connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power

and communication to the USB-1208HS-4AO.

When you connect the USB-1208HS-4AO for the first time, a Found New Hardware dialog opens when the

operating system detects the device. The Status LED turns on; this indicates that communication is established

between the device and the computer. Refer to Figure 2 on page 9 for the location of the Status LED. When the

dialog closes, the installation is complete.

USB-1208HS-4AO User's Guide Installing the USB-1208HS-4AO

Caution! Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with the

device, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the USB-1208HS-4AO..

If the Status LED turns off

The Status LED turns off if communication is lost between the device and the computer. To restore

communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer and reconnect it. The Status LED should turn on.

Calibrating the USB-1208HS-4AO

The USB-1208HS-4AO is shipped fully calibrated. Calibration coefficients are stored in EEPROM.

Return the device to Measurement Computing Corporation when calibration is required. The normal calibration

interval is once per year.

Functional Details

Analog input acquisition modes

The USB-1208HS-4AO can acquire analog input data in two basic modes – software paced and hardware

paced.

Software paced mode

You can acquire one analog sample at a time in software paced mode. You initiate the A/D conversion by

calling a software command. The analog value is converted to digital data and returned to the computer. You

can repeat this procedure until you have the total number of samples that you want.

The throughput sample rate in software paced mode is system-dependent, and can range from 33 S/s to

4000 S/s.

Hardware paced mode

You can acquire data from up to eight channels in hardware-paced mode. The analog data is continuously

acquired, converted to digital values, and written to an onboard FIFO buffer on the device until you stop the

scan. The FIFO buffer is serviced in blocks as the data is transferred from the USB-1208HS-4AO FIFO buffer

to the memory buffer on your computer.

The maximum sampling rate is 1 MS/s aggregate over one-to-eight channels. You can start a continuous scan

with either a software command or with an external hardware trigger event.

External components

The USB-1208HS-4AO has the following external components, as shown in Figure 2.

Screw terminal banks

LED indicators

USB connector

1 Screw terminal pins 1 to 28 4 Activity LED

2 Screw terminal pins 29 to 56 5 USB connector

3 Status LED
