    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.
  • Page 9: Installing The Hardware In Usb Mode (Windows Only)

    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.
  • Page 10: Chapter 3 Functional Details

    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.
  • Page 11: Burstio

    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.
  • Page 12: Power/Pairing Button

    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.

  • Page 14: Signal Connections

    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.
  • Page 15: Analog Output

    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.
