Preface About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide describes the Measurement Computing BTH-1208LS-OEM wireless data acquisition device and lists device specifications. Conventions in this user's guide For more information Text presented in a box signifies additional information and helpful hints related to the subject matter you are reading.
Chapter 1 Introducing the BTH-1208LS-OEM The BTH-1208LS-OEM is a multifunction data acquisition device that communicates using Bluetooth® wireless technology. The Bluetooth radio host used with the device must support Bluetooth 2.0 or later. The following Bluetooth stack protocols are supported on Windows: §...
Chapter 2 Installing a BTH-1208LS-OEM Unpacking As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the board from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge. Downloading the software Refer to the BTH-1208LS-OEM product page on our website for information about the supported software you can download.
For operation on a Windows operating system, Measurement Computing recommends that you run Windows Update to update your operating system with the latest USB drivers.
Chapter 3 Functional Details Analog input acquisition modes The BTH-1208LS-OEM can acquire analog input data in three different modes – software paced, hardware paced, and BURSTIO. Software paced mode In software paced mode you can acquire one analog sample at a time. You initiate the A/D conversion by calling a software command.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details In both Bluetooth mode and USB mode, you can start a hardware-paced scan with either a software command or with an external hardware trigger event. BURSTIO When using BURSTIO, the BTH-1208LS-OEM can acquire data at the maximum throughput of 47kS/s when connected in Bluetooth mode.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Power/pairing button The power/pairing button has different functions depending on the power source of the device. The term pairing refers to one function of the button – to put the device in pairing mode so it can establish an association between the Bluetooth radio on the host device and the BTH-1208LS-OEM radio.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Connector J1 Header connector J1 provides connections for the analog inputs, analog outputs, and analog ground reference. Refer to Figure 5 on page 17 for the location and orientation of J1. Four-channel differential mode Signal name Pin description Signal name Pin description...
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Signal connections Analog input You can connect up to eight single-ended analog input connections ( ) or four differential connections ( CH0H/CH0L CH3H/CH3L ) on connector J1. Single-ended configuration When configured for single-ended input mode, eight analog input channels are available. Each analog input has 11-bit resolution (due to restrictions imposed by the A/D converter) and offers a ±10 V analog input range.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Carefully match the gain to the expected voltage range on the associated channel or an over range condition may occur. Although this condition does not damage the device, it does produce a useless full-scale reading, and can introduce a long recovery time due to saturation of the input channel.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Figure 4. Digital I/O external resistor configuration Bulkhead signals The function of the bulkhead pins is explained below. Battery charging Use the BATT+, BATT_MID, and BATT– pins to charge two AA or AAA cells used in series, with BATT_MID connected to the midpoint of the series cells.
BTH-1208LS-OEM User's Guide Functional Details Ground The analog ground ( ) pin on connector J1 provide a common ground for all analog channels. The ground AGND ) pins on connector J2 provide a common ground for the digital, trigger, counter, and power terminals. Power output The + pin on connector J2 is a 3.3 V output that can source up to 50 mA that is supplied by the power source...
