Header connectors for field wiring connections The USB-1608G-OEM device is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The speed of the device may be limited when using a USB 1.1 port due to the difference in transfer rates on the USB 1.1 versions of the protocol (low-speed and full-speed).
Installing on a Windows platform Install the software before you install your device A driver needed to run the USB-1608G-OEM is installed when you install the software. Therefore, you need to install the software package you plan to use before you install the hardware.
Calibrating the hardware Factory calibration The Measurement Computing Manufacturing Test department performs the initial factory calibration. Contact Measurement Computing for details about how to return your device and have it calibrated to the factory specifications. Field calibration The USB-1608G-OEM supports field calibration. Calibrate the device using InstaCal whenever the ambient temperature changes by more than ±10 °C from the last field calibration.
Functional Details Analog input modes The USB-1608G-OEM can acquire analog input data in two basic modes – software paced and hardware paced. Software paced You can acquire one analog sample at a time in software paced mode. You initiate the A/D conversion with a software command.
