USB-TEMP User's Guide

Connecting a USB-TEMP to your computer is easy

Installing a data acquisition device has never been easier.
! The USB-TEMP relies upon the Microsoft Human Interface Device (HID) class drivers. The HID
class drivers ship with every copy of Windows that is designed to work with USB ports. We use the
Microsoft HID because it is a standard, and its performance delivers full control and maximizes data
transfer rates for your USB-TEMP. No third-party device driver is required.
! The USB-TEMP is plug-and-play. There are no jumpers to position, DIP switches to set, or interrupts
to configure.
! You can connect the USB-TEMP before or after you install the software, and without powering
down your computer first. When you connect an HID to your system, your computer automatically
detects it and configures the necessary software. You can connect and power multiple HID
peripherals to your system using a USB hub.
! You can connect your system to various devices using a standard four-wire cable. The USB
connector replaces the serial and parallel port connectors with one standardized plug and port
combination.
! You do not need a separate power supply module. The USB automatically delivers the electrical
power required by each peripheral connected to your system.
! Data can flow two ways between a computer and peripheral over USB connections.
