Page 10: Installing The Usb-3103
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the USB-3103 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge. -
Page 11: Installing The Software
Connecting the USB-3103 to your system To connect the USB-3103 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 that is connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power and communication to the USB-3103. -

If the power LED turns off If the power LED is illuminated but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the USB-3103. To restore communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore communication, and the power LED should turn back on. -
Page 13: Chapter 3 Functional Details
Status LED The Status LED indicates the communication status of the USB-3103. It flashes when data is being transferred, and is off when the USB-3103 is not communicating. This LED uses up to 10 mA of current and cannot be disabled. -
Page 14: Screw Terminal Banks
Screw terminal banks The USB-3103 has two rows of screw terminals—one row on the top edge of the housing, and one row on the bottom edge. Each row has 28 connections. Use 16 AWG to 30 AWG wire gauge when making screw terminal connections. -

USB-3103 User's Guide Functional Details Figure 5. USB-3103 signal pin out Analog voltage output terminals (VOUT0 to VOUT7) The screw terminal pins labeled are voltage output terminals (see Figure 5). The voltage VOUT0 VOUT7 output range for each channel is software-programmable for either bipolar or unipolar. The bipolar range is ±10 V, and the unipolar range is 0 to 10 V. -

100 Hz max., system dependent Multi-channel 100 Hz/#ch max., system dependent The USB-3103 output voltage level defaults to 0 V whenever the output voltage range is Note 1: reconfigured. The USB-3103 output voltage level will also default to 0 V: 1) Whenever the host PC is reset, shut down or suspended. -
Page 19: Analog Output Calibration
The maximum differential non-linearity specification applies to the entire 0 to 70 °C temperature range of the USB-3103. This specification also accounts for the maximum errors due to the software calibration algorithm (in Calibrated mode only) and the DAC8554 digital to analog converter non-linearities. -
