750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 Introduction The PASCO 750 USB Interface, is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data acquisition interface designed for use with any of PASCO’s ® ScienceWorkshop Sensors. The 750 USB operates exactly the same as the 750 SCSI interface. The only functional difference between the...
General Operation Requirements and Setup A. Operation Requirements and Precautions a) The interface must be used with PASCO’s DataStudio software and ScienceWorkshop sensors. The interface will not work with PASPORT sensors or other sensors, software, or interface (i.e. Xplorer, etc.) Note: For more infor- Also, you can use only one 750 USB interface per computer.
750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 C. Plugging a Sensor into the Interface Analog sensors have DIN connectors and plug into channels A, B, and C on the interface. Digital sensors have stereo plugs and insert into channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the interface.
Model No. CI-7599 750 Interface (USB) Using the Interface as a Signal Generator (no amplifier required): The 750 USB interface contains a built-in function generator for creating up to eight types of waveforms (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, ramp up, ramp down, positive ramp up, positive ramp down, as well as DC voltages.) when the interface is used with DataStudio.
Amplifier With a PASCO CI-6552A Power Amplifier II plugged into an analog channel of the ScienceWorkshop 750 USB interface, you can supply up to 1 A of external current at +/- 10 volts. WARNING: To prevent power surges, always turn on the Power Amplifier before running DataStudio.
Model No. CI-7599 750 Interface (USB) 3. To generate signals, click the Start button. For more information about signal generation, see the DataStudio online help. C. View the Amplified Signals in DataStudio From the Data list, drag the Output Voltage icon to a display (i.e. Graph, Scope, etc.), and click the Start button.
Check “Computer Requirements” in this manual to ensure your operating system is compatible with USB devices. If you have DataStudio 1.7 installed and you still receive device error messages, contact PASCO’s Technical Support Dept. (1- 800-772-8700) or 916-786-3800. DataStudio does Recheck the USB cable and power connections.

USB connection (or those whose computers do not support SCSI connections). The PASCO 750 SCSI interface uses a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) port to communicate with the PC or MacIntosh (Mac) computer to which it is connected. The SCSI-equipped interface is now known as the “750 SCSI interface.”...

750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 Does the 750 USB have a serial connection like the 750 SCSI? No. The 750 USB Interface can connect to the computer only with the USB port. If I have a 750 USB and a PASPORT Xplorer connected at the same time, which would be recognized first and have priority? The interface you choose first in DataStudio is the one that has the priority.
Model No. CI-7599 750 Interface (USB) Appendix D: Theory of Operation Flash Memory The 750 stores its operating system software and waveform patterns in flash memory. After turning on the power supply, the interface initializes the operating system without requiring user initiation in DataStudio.
750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 Digital Input/Output Channels When a digital sensor plugged into one or more of the 750 interface, the interface may perform several different tasks, with the task dependent on the type of sensor connected. It may time the interval between external events (i.e.
Model No. CI-7599 750 Interface (USB) * Continuous sampling with 5 channels selected is not possible to sustain for more than a few seconds. There are five analog channels from which to choose: channels A-C, analog output voltage (at banana jacks), and the analog output current. Please note that for continuous sampling, the speed of the computer may slow down, especially if the interface is busy processing with many displays open in DataStudio.
