Italic text is used for the names of manuals and help topic titles, and to emphasize a word or phrase. Where to find more information Additional information about USB-7202 hardware is available on our website at www.mccdaq.com. You can also contact Measurement Computing Corporation with specific questions.
The USB-7202 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).
Contact us immediately if any components are missing or damaged. Installing the software Refer to the MCC DAQ Quick Start and the USB-7202 product page on our website for information about the software that supports the device. Install the software before you install your device The driver needed to run the USB-7202 is installed with the software.
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-7202 supports field calibration. Calibrate the device using InstaCal whenever the ambient temperature...
50 kS/s for any channel. Using this equation, you can acquire data with the USB-7202 from one channel at 50 kS/s, two channels at 50 kS/s each, four channels at 25 kS/s each, and so on, up to eight channels at 12.5 kS/s each.

USB-7202 User's Guide Functional Details Screw terminals Screw terminal connections in shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Screw terminal pinout Use 16 AWG to 30 AWG when making screw terminal connections. Signal connections Analog input You can connect up to eight analog input connections to screw terminals through .
The USB-7202 alone draws 150 mA of current from the USB +5 V supply. Once you start running applications with the USB-7202, each DIO bit can draw up to 2.5 mA. The maximum amount of +5 V current available for experimental use, over and above that required by the USB-7202, is the difference between the total current requirement of the USB-7202 (based on the application) and the allowed current draw of the computer platform (500 mA for desktop computers and self-powered hubs).
The primary error sources in the USB-7202 are offset and gain. Nonlinearity is small in the USB-7202, and is not significant as an error source with respect to offset and gain. Figure 6 shows an ideal, error-free, USB-7202 transfer function. The typical calibrated accuracy of the USB- 7202 is range-dependent, as explained in the Specifications chapter on page 19.

Combining these two error sources in Figure 9, we have a plot of the error band of the USB-7202 at ±full scale (±10 V). This plot is a graphical version of the typical accuracy specification of the product.
Figure 9. Error band plot Synchronized operations You can connect the SYNC pin of two USB-7202 devices together in a master/slave configuration and acquire data from the analog inputs of both devices using one clock. When the SYNC pin is configured as an output, the internal A/D pacer clock signal is sent to the screw terminal.

USB-7202 User's Guide Specifications Table 4 summarizes the noise performance for the USB-7202. Noise distribution is determined by gathering 50 K samples with inputs tied to ground at the user connector. Samples are gathered at the maximum specified sampling rate of 50 kS/s.
300 mA max Note 5: This is the total current requirement for the USB-7202, which includes up to 10 mA for the status LED. Note 6: "Self-powered hub" refers to a USB hub with an external power supply. Self-powered hubs allow a connected USB device to draw up to 500 mA.
