  • Page 6: Introducing The Usb-1208Hs-4Ao

    The USB-1208HS-4AO is a USB 2.0 high-speed device supported under popular Microsoft Windows operating systems. The USB-1208HS-4AO is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports (although the speed of the module maybe limited when using USB 1.1 ports).
  • Page 7: Installing The Usb-1208Hs-4Ao

    Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions. To connect the USB-1208HS-4AO to your system, turn your computer on, and connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer or to an external USB hub connected to your computer. The USB cable provides power and communication to the USB-1208HS-4AO.

    Installing the USB-1208HS-4AO Caution! Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with the device, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the USB-1208HS-4AO.. If the Status LED turns off The Status LED turns off if communication is lost between the device and the computer.

  • Page 11: Usb Connector

    The USB connector provides +5 V power and communication. No external power supply is required. Activity LED The Activity LED indicates the communication status of the USB-1208HS-4AO. It blinks when data is transferred, and is off when the device is not communicating. This LED uses up to 10 mA of current and cannot be disabled.
  • Page 12: Analog Output

    Each channel can be software-paced at rates up to 5,000 updates per second (system-dependent), or hardware- paced at rates up to 1 MS/s. Each analog output on the USB-1208HS-4AO has a fixed ±10 V output range. The outputs default to 0 V at power up.
  • Page 13: Digital I/O

    Each of the 16 DIO bits on the USB-1208HS-4AO has a 47 kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistor. To configure these bits for either a +5 V pull-up or a 0 V pull-down option, you must open the USB-1208HS-4AO case to access the three-pin jumper labeled W34.
