    Com driver from your CD by clicking on the "Install USB Com Driver" button (b efore installing a new USB com driver, The ADC-4U11 Analog to Digital Converters are warranted against factory defects for a period of 90 days from the go to Control Panel/Device Manager/Ports to check if a Prolific driver is shown (expand the category by clicking on the date of purchase.
  • Page 3: Trouble-Shooting

    When using a 9 volt smoke detector battery, use a multimeter to check for the correct voltage (2) Verify that the Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port entry is the com port used by your ADC-4U11. You may do this by since the voltage can go well over the reference voltage if the potentiometer is turned beyond 10K.

    'To use these example, copy the code module (supplied on your CD) to a sub called readInputs(). From the toolbox, Available com ports are updated by clicking the "Com drag (4) labels and a timer control to your form. Insert the following code into the timer sub. The (4) ADC-4U11 analog Port" button under Setup.
  • Page 5: Single Ended Analog Inputs

    SINGLE ENDED ANALOG VOLTAGE INPUTS The ADC-4U11 may be set to accept (2) fully differential inputs in place of the (4) single ended inputs. The differential voltage input range is determined by the reference setting as shown on the previous page. The differential input signal Voltages up to hundreds of volts may be divided down to the 5 volt range by using a simple resistance divider as connects to terminals 1 and 2 for differential channel 1 and terminals 3 and 4 for differential channel 2.
  • Page 6 FOR ON/OFF STATUS The ADC-4U11 defaults to a 0 to 4.096 volt input range (setup allows input ranges as low as 0 to .25 volts). When the input voltage range is required to be lower, (such as with a watt transducer or load cell) an external instrumentation Fuse or Limiting Resistor (330 ohm 1 watt) amplifier must be used to amplify the input signal to the 0 to 4 volt input range of the ADC.
