  • Page 6: Introducing The Usb-1808X-Oem

     The device is powered by the +5 V USB supply from the computer, requiring no external power. The USB-1808X-OEM is a USB 2.0 high-speed device that is fully compatible with both USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 ports.
  • Page 7: Installing The Usb-1808X-Oem

    USB-1808X-OEM. Install the software before you install your device The driver needed to run the USB-1808X-OEM is installed with the software. Therefore, you need to install the software package you plan to use before you install the hardware. Installing the hardware To connect the USB-1808X-OEM to your system, connect the USB cable to an available USB port on the computer or to an external USB hub connected to the computer.

  • Page 10: Leds

    Encoder 0 Input Z LEDs The USB-1808X-OEM has two LED indicators that indicate the status of power and data. The LEDs are stacked one above the other (see Figure 2 on page 8). LED turns on when the device is detected by the computer.
  • Page 11: Channel-Gain Queue

    USB-1808X-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Channel-Gain queue The channel-gain queue feature allows you to configure a different gain setting for each channel. The gain settings are stored in a channel-gain queue list that is written to local memory on the device.
  • Page 12: Pull-Up/Down Configuration

    Turn the device over and rest the top of the housing on a flat, stable surface. Caution! The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Before removing the USB-1808X-OEM from its housing, ground yourself using a wrist strap or touch the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
  • Page 13: Counter Input

    Totalize counter mode The USB-1808X-OEM can be used as a high-speed pulse counter for general counting applications. The internal counter increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high or from high to low.
  • Page 14: Quadrature Encoder Input

    50 MHz maximum pulse frequency, and X1, X2, and X4 count modes are supported. The USB-1808X-OEM provides A, B, and Z inputs – ENCxA, ENCxB, and ENCxZ – for each connected encoder. A typical encoder generates the A and B signals at a 90° phase shift with respect to each other. These signals are used to determine system position (counts), velocity (counts per second), and direction of travel or rotation.
  • Page 15: Synchronous I/O - Mixing Analog, Digital, And Counter Scanning

    Synchronous I/O – mixing analog, digital, and counter scanning The USB-1808X-OEM can read analog, digital, and counter inputs, and generate up to two analog outputs and one digital pattern output at the same time. Digital and counter inputs do not affect the overall A/D rate because these inputs use no time slot in the scanning sequencer.

    USB-1808X-OEM User's Guide Functional Details In Figure 7 all mask bits are set to 1, so all the bits are included in the pattern to detect. Figure 7. Trigger mask with all bits included In Figure 8 all mask bits are excluded except bit 3. The result of this operation is that only bit 3 is included in the pattern to detect.
