  • Page 6: Introducing The Usb-2020

    The USB-2020 is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The speed of the device may be limited when using a USB 1.1 port due to the difference in transfer rates on the USB 1.1 versions of the protocol (low- speed and full-speed).

    As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the USB-2020 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.

    Removing USB-2020 boards from Windows XP systems Device Manager may require up to 30 seconds to detect the removal of a USB-2020 board from a Windows XP system with Service Pack 2 installed. This time increases with each additional connected device. If you remove four devices from your system, the time required for Device Manager to update may be almost two minutes.

  • Page 14: Signal Connections

    Signal connections Analog input The USB-2020 has two single-ended simultaneous sampling analog inputs that provide sampling at rates of up to 20 MS/s to internal memory when using BURSTIO and at rates of up to 8 MS/s (system-dependent) to the host computer in continuous scan mode.
  • Page 15: External Clock I/O

    CLK IO External clock I/O USB-2020 analog input scanning operations can be paced with the internal A/D clock or with an external clock source. The CLK IO connector can be configured through software for input (default) for external pacing, or for output to pace a connected device.
