E-1608. If the E-1608 is directly connected to a Windows PC, a link-local address is assigned to the device. A link-local address is valid only for communications between the E-1608 and the PC to which it is connected DHCP Only Enables configuration by a DHCP server if one is available.
Calibrating the hardware 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. The recommended calibration interval is one year.
Functional Details Analog input modes The E-1608 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.
Connect the 5 V external power adapter (PS-5V1AEPS) to this connector to provide 5 V external power to the E-1608. LEDs LED is steady green when external power between 3.3V to 5.9 V is supplied to the E-1608. Power LED turns off when: Power ...
