Introduction This chapter will provide information on the features of the DAS module, a quick start guide for installation, and some brief information on software and accessories for the USB-4716 Module. Sections include: • Features • Software Overview...
Chapter 1 Introduction Thank you for buying the Advantech USB-4716 data acquisition module. The Advantech USB-4716 is a powerful data acquisition (DAS) module for the USB port. It features a unique circuit design and complete func- tions for data acquisition and control.
1.2 Software Overview Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and application software on the companion CD-ROM to help fully exploit the functions of your device. Advantech’s Device Drivers feature a complete I/O function library to help boost your application performance and work seamlessly with development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Inprise C++ Builder, and Inprise Delphi.
Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Unpacking After receiving your USB-4716 package, please inspect its contents first. The package should contain the following items: • USB-4716 Module • Shielded USB 2.0 Cable (1.8 m) • Companion CD-ROM (DLL driver included) • User Manual The USB-4716 Module harbors certain electronic components vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
2.2 Driver Installation We recommend you install the software driver before you install the USB-4716 module into your system, since this will guarantee a smooth installation process. The 32-bit DLL driver Setup program for the USB-4716 module is included on the companion CD-ROM that is shipped with your module package.

Signal Connections This chapter provides useful informa- tion on how to connect input and output signals to the USB-4716 via the I/O connectors. Sections include: • Overview • I/O Connectors • Analog Input Connections • Analog Output Connections • Trigger Source Connections...
A good signal connection can avoid unnecessary and costly damage to your PC and other hardware devices. 3.2 I/O Connectors USB-4716 is equipped with plug-in screw-terminal connectors that facili- tate connection to the module without terminal boards or cables. 3.2.1 Pin Assignment Figure 3.1 on next page shows the pin assignments for the five 10-pin I/O...
A/D External Trigger. This pin is external trigger signal input for the A/D conversion. A low-to- high edge triggers A/D conver- sion to start. EVT_IN DGND Input External events input channel. P_OUT DGND Output Pulse output channel USB-4716 User Manual...
3.2.3 LED Indicator Status Description The USB Module is equipped with a LED indicator to show the current status of the device. When you plug the USB device into the USB port, the LED indicator will blink five times and then stay lit to indicate that it is on.
A signal source without a local ground is also called a “floating source”. It is fairly simple to connect a single-ended channel to a floating signal source. In this mode, USB-4716 provides a reference ground for external floating signal sources.
Low input. Figure 3-3 shows a differential channel connection between a grounded-reference signal source and an input channel on USB-4716. With this connection, the PGIA rejects a common-mode voltage V between the signal source and USB-4716 ground, shown as V in Figure 3-3.
3.5 Trigger Source Connections 3.5.1 Internal Pacer Trigger Connection USB-4716 provides two 16-bit counters connected to a 10 MHz clock. Counter 0 is a counter that counts events from an input channel. Counter 1 is a 16-bit timer for pacer triggering. A low-to-high edge from the Counter 1 output will trigger an A/D conversion on USB-4716.
3.6 Field Wiring Considerations • When you use USB-4716 to acquire data from outside, noises in the environment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measure- ments if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be helpful to reduce possible interference running signal wires between signal sources and the USB-4716.
