Italic text is used for the names of manuals and help topic titles, and to emphasize a word or phrase. Where to find more information Additional information about the USB-2020 is available on our website at www.mccdaq.com. You can also contact Measurement Computing Corporation by phone, fax, or email with specific questions.
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.
USB-2020 User's Guide Installing the USB-2020 Installing the hardware Before you connect the USB-2020 to your computer, connect the external power supply that was shipped with the device. Disconnect USB, then power supply When disconnecting the USB-2020, disconnect the USB cable first, and then disconnect the power supply.
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.
You can use the 40-pin CIO-MINI40 universal screw terminal board to terminate field signals and route them into the USB-2020 using the C40FF-x cable: You can use the following MCC screw terminal boards to terminate field signals and route them into the USB-2020 using the C40-37F-x cable directly: CIO-MINI37 –...
BURSTIO When using BURSTIO, the USB-2020 can acquire data at the maximum rate of 20 MS/s per channel to the internal memory buffer (up to 64 megasamples) . The acquired data is read from the FIFO and transferred to a user buffer in the computer.
The USB connector provides power to the USB-2020 and communication with the host computer. External power connector The USB-2020 requires external power. Connect the CB-PWR-9 power supply to the external power connector. This power supply provides 9 VDC, 3 A power, and plugs into a standard 120 VAC outlet.
USB-2020 User's Guide Functional Details 40-pin auxiliary connector (J9) The 40-pin auxiliary connector provides the following connections for all I/O signals except for analog input and clock I/O: Eight digital I/O ( DIO0 DIO7 Digital trigger input ( ...
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.
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.
USB-2020 User's Guide Functional Details Pull-up default configuration (factory default) Pull-down configuration Figure 6. Pull-up and pull-down jumper configurations (J10) An external pull-up resistor can be used to pull the DIO bit up to a voltage that exceeds the internal 5 V pull-up voltage (15 V maximum).
(positive or negative). For example, once the signal goes below 5 V, a rising edge that crosses 4 V must occur to trigger an acquisition. Mechanical drawing Figure 8. USB-2020 board dimensions...
