Italic text is used for the names of manuals and help topic titles, and to emphasize a word or phrase. Where to find more information Additional information about the BTH-1208LS-OEM is available on our website at www.mccdaq.com. You can also contact Measurement Computing Corporation with specific questions.
Caution! There are no product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or CE marking compliance claims made for the BTH-1208LS-OEM. The BTH-1208LS-OEM is intended for use as a component of a larger system. MCC can help developers meet their compliance requirements. The end product supplier, however, is responsible for conforming to any and all compliance requirements.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Introducing the BTH-1208LS-OEM Functional block diagram BTH-1208LS-OEM functions are illustrated in the block diagram shown here. Analog Output 2 Channels Analog Input Bluetooth 8 Single-Ended Channels (11-bit) Module 4 Differential Channels (12-bit) Microcontroller Digital I/O Event Counter...
The BTH-1208LS-OEM cannot be paired when powered by a USB host device. To pair the BTH-1208LS-OEM as a Bluetooth device, make sure the device is not connected to a USB host, and complete the following steps (refer to Figure 2 on page 11 for the location of device components referenced in this section): Make sure the host device is configured to host a Bluetooth device.
Press and hold the power/pairing button for two seconds to remove the device from pairing mode. Once the BTH-1208LS-OEM is paired to the host device, run an application that communicates with the device (such as InstaCal or a UL for Android example program) to establish a connection. The...
Chapter 3 Functional Details Analog input acquisition modes The BTH-1208LS-OEM can acquire analog input data in three different modes – software paced, hardware paced, and BURSTIO. Software paced mode In software paced mode you can acquire one analog sample at a time. You initiate the A/D conversion by calling a software command.
BURSTIO When using BURSTIO, the BTH-1208LS-OEM can acquire data at the maximum throughput of 47kS/s when connected in Bluetooth mode. BURSTIO doesn’t offer any advantage in USB mode, since these rates are supported for BLOCKIO in USB mode.
The term pairing refers to one function of the button – to put the device in pairing mode so it can establish an association between the Bluetooth radio on the host device and the BTH-1208LS-OEM radio. Button functions are listed in the table below.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Connector J1 Header connector J1 provides connections for the analog inputs, analog outputs, and analog ground reference. Refer to Figure 5 on page 17 for the location and orientation of J1. Four-channel differential mode Signal name...
BIP5V BIP10V When a scan begins with the gain queue enabled, the BTH-1208LS-OEM reads the first element, sets the appropriate channel number and range, and then acquires a sample. The properties of the next element are then retrieved, and another sample is acquired. This sequence continues until all elements in the gain queue have been selected.
Each analog output channel has an output range of 0 V to 2.5 V. Throughput is system-dependent. The D/A is software paced. External clock input The BTH-1208LS-OEM provides one external clock input for the analog input pacer. You can connect an external clock signal to on connector J2.
USB host or power supply is present. Use the CHARGE_LED– pin in combination with the Vbus pin for an external charging LED. The series resistor is already on the BTH-1208LS-OEM; only a LED is required. Trigger input pin on connector J2 is an external digital trigger input that you can configure for either TRIG_IN rising/falling edge, or high/low level.
Caution! The pin is an output. Do not connect to an external power supply or you may damage the BTH-1208LS-OEM and possibly the computer. For more information about signal connections For more information about analog and digital signal connections, refer to the Guide to DAQ Signal Connections at www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/DAQ-Signal-Connections.pdf.
