When configured for input, you can use the USB-1096HFS digital I/O terminals to detect the state of any TTL level input. Figure 3-2 shows the USB-1096HFS wired to detect the state of a switch. When you set the switch to the position, FIRSTPORTA Bit 0 reads TRUE (1).
To daisy-chain two or more USB-1096HFS modules, follow the steps below. This procedure assumes you already have one USB-1096HFS connected to a computer and to the external power source. The USB-1096HFS already connected to the computer is referred to as the connected module. The USB- 1096HFS you want to daisy-chain to the connected module is referred to as the new module.
9 VDC nominal, 3.0 A external power supply. Supply current Running one USB-1096HFS at full load draws 2.6 A from the 3A supply. When using the USB-1096HFS under full load conditions, you cannot daisy chain additional Measurement Advantage boards unless you supply external power to each board in the chain.
