Preface About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide describes the Measurement Computing USB-3114 data acquisition device and lists the specifications. Conventions in this user's guide For more information on … Text presented in a box signifies additional information and helpful hints related to the subject matter you are reading.
DAC outputs on multiple devices. The USB-3114 is powered by a 5 volt, 2 amp AC power adapter that is shipped with the board. All I/O connections are made to the screw terminals located along each side of the USB-3114.
USB-3114 functions are illustrated in the block diagram shown here. Figure 2. USB-3114 block diagram Software features For information on the features of InstaCal and the other software included with your USB-3114, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your device.
Chapter 2 Installing the USB-3114 What comes with your USB-3114 shipment? The following items are shipped with the USB-3114. Hardware USB-3114 device USB cable (2 meter length) External power supply and cord – 10 watt AC power adapter. MCC part number PS-5V2AEPS.
USB-3114, connect the USB adapter cord to the power connector on the USB-3114 device, and plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. The power LED on the device lights up when the USB-3114 is receiving power from the AC power adapter.
Connecting the USB-3114 to your system To connect the USB-3114 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-3114.
USB LED The USB LED indicates the communication status of the USB-3114. It uses up to 10 mA of current and cannot be disabled. The table below defines the function of the USB LED. LED Illumination...
Screw terminal banks The USB-3114 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-3114 User's Guide Functional Details Figure 5. USB-3114 signal pin out Analog voltage output terminals (VOUT0 to VOUT15) The screw terminal pins labeled are voltage output terminals (see Figure 5). The voltage VOUT0 VOUT15 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.
Configure as an output (master mode) to send the internal D/A LOAD signal to the SYNCLD pin. You can use the SYNCLD pin to synchronize with a second USB-3114 and simultaneously update the DAC outputs on each device. Refer to Synchronizing multiple units section on page 16.
DAC outputs of both devices. Do the following. 1. Connect the SYNCLD pin of the master USB-3114 to the SYNCLD pin of the slave USB-3114. 2. Configure the SYNCLD pin on the slave device for input to receive the D/A LOAD signal from the master device.
100 Hz/#ch max., system dependent Note 1: The USB-3114 output voltage level defaults to 0V whenever the output voltage range is reconfigured. The USB-3114 output voltage level will also default to 0V: 1) Whenever the host PC is reset, shut down or suspended...
(in Calibrated mode only) and the DAC8554 digital to analog converter non-linearities. The USB-3114 voltage outputs should not be kept in a short-circuit condition for longer than the Note 4: specified limit of 100 ms. For those applications that may potentially exceed the 40 mA maximum current limit or the 100 ms short-circuit condition, external current limiting must be used to prevent potential damage to the USB-3114.
