    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.

  • Page 8: Installing A Bth-1208Ls-Oem

    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.
  • Page 9: Installing The Hardware In Usb Mode (Windows Only)

    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...
  • Page 10: Chapter 3 Functional Details

    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.
  • Page 11: Burstio

    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.
  • Page 12: Power/Pairing Button

    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...
  • Page 14: Signal Connections

    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.
  • Page 15: Analog Output

    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.
  • Page 16: Bulkhead Signals

    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.
  • Page 17: Ground

    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.
