Chapter 1

Introducing the USB-1208FS

The USB-1208FS-Plus is an analog input and digital I/O data acquisition device that provides the following

features:

Eight analog input channels that are software-selectable for either eight 11-bit single-ended inputs or four

12-bit differential inputs

Two 12-bit analog output channels

16 digital I/O channels that are independently-selectable as input or output in two 8-bit ports

32-bit event counter input for counting TTL pulses

External digital trigger input

Bidirectional terminal for external clocking or multi-unit synchronization

Screw terminals for field wiring connections

The USB-1208FS is powered by the 5 volt USB supply from your computer. No external power is required.

All I/O connections are made to the device screw terminals.

Chapter 2

Installing the USB-1208FS

What comes with your shipment?

The following items are shipped with the USB-1208FS.

Hardware

USB-1208FS

USB cable

Software

MCC DAQ Software CD

Documentation

MCC DAQ Quick Start Guide

The Quick Start Guide booklet provides an overview of the MCC DAQ software you received with the device,

and includes information about installing the software. Please read this booklet completely before installing any

software or hardware.

Unpacking

As with any electronic device, take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before

removing the USB-1208FS from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or touch either the computer

chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge. If the device is damaged, notify

Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or email.

Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support

Fax: 508-946-9500 to the attention of Tech Support

Email: techsupport@mccdaq.com

For international customers, contact your local distributor. Refer to the International Distributors section on our

web site at www.mccdaq.com/International.

Installing the software

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on installing the software on the MCC DAQ CD. This booklet is

available in PDF at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/DAQ-Software-Quick-Start.pdf.

Installing the hardware

Be sure you are using the latest system software

Before installing the device, run Windows Update to update your operating system with the latest HID and USB

drivers.

To connect the USB-1208FS to your system, connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer or to an

external USB hub that is connected to your computer.

The USB-1208FS installs as a composite device with separate devices attached. When you connect the

USB-1208FS for the first time, a Found New Hardware dialog opens as each device interface is detected. This

is normal. After the device is installed its LED blinks and then remains on. This indicates that communication is

established between the USB-1208FS and your computer.

USB-1208FS User's Guide Installing the USB-1208FS

If the LED turns off

If communication is lost between the device and the computer, the LED turns off. To restore communication,

disconnect the USB cable from the computer and then reconnect it. This should restore communication, and the

LED should turn on.

Functional Details

Analog input acquisition modes

The USB-1208FS can acquire analog input data in either software paced or hardware paced mode.

Software paced

The USB-1208FS acquires data one analog sample at a time using software-paced mode. You initiate the A/D

conversion by calling a software command. The analog value is converted to digital and returned to the

computer. You can repeat this procedure until you have the total number of samples that you want.

The maximum sample rate in software paced mode is system-dependent.

Hardware paced

The USB-1208FS can acquire data from up to eight channels using hardware-paced mode. The analog data is

acquired and converted to digital values until you stop the scan. Data is transferred in blocks of 31 samples from

the USB-1208FS to the memory buffer on your computer.

The A/D converter is paced by either an internal or external clock source.

The maximum sample rate is an aggregate rate. The total sample rate for all channels cannot exceed 50 kS/s.

The following table lists the sample rate when scanning from one to eight channels.

Maximum per channel sample rate

# channels scanned Sample rate (kS/s)

1 50

2 25

3 16.70

4 12.50

5 10

6 8.30

7 7.14

8 6.25

You can start a hardware-paced scan with a software command. Optionally, hardware-paced scans can be

delayed by an external hardware trigger event.

Screw terminals

The screw terminals provide the following connections:

Eight analog inputs (CH0 IN to CH7 IN)

Two analog outputs (D/A OUT 0 to D/A OUT 1)

16 digital I/O connections (PortA0 to Port A7, and Port B0 to Port B7)

One external trigger input (TRIG_IN)

One external event counter input (CTR)

One SYNC I/O for external clocking and multi-unit synchronization (SYNC)

One calibration output (CAL)

One power output (PC +5 V)

Five analog ground connections (AGND) and four digital ground connections (GND)

One ground connection (GND)

Use 16 AWG to 30 AWG wire when making connections to the screw terminals. The single-ended mode pinout

is shown in Figure 3.
