Before Using the Product
This chapter provides information you should know before using the product.
About the Unit
This product is a USB2.0-compliant analog output unit that extends the analog output function of USB
port of PCs. This product features high-precision analog outputs, digital inputs, digital outputs, and a
counter function.
As there is compatible with PCI bus-compatible board DA16-4(LPCI)L and PCI Express bus-
compatible board AO-1604L-LPE in terms of connector shape and pin assignments, it is easy to migrate
from the existing system.
Using the bundled API function library package [API-USBP(WDM)], you can create Windows
application software for this board in your favorite programming language supporting Win32 API
functions, such as Visual Basic or Visual C/C++.
With plug-ins for the dedicated libraries, this product also supports MATLAB and LabVIEW.
Features
- Multi-function
The unit contains analog outputs (16bit, 4channels), control signal(3 points) of analog output, digital
inputs (LVTTL level 4channels), digital outputs (LVTTL level 4channels), and counters (32bit binary,
LVTTL level 1channels). Combining all these features on one unit allows complex systems to be
implemented even on PCs with USB port only.
Buffer memory
The analog outputs have their own buffer memory.
You can also perform analog output in the background, independent of software and the current status
of the PC.
- Filter function for easy connection of external signals
The digital input signals, counter input signals, and the external control signals for analog output
incorporate a digital filter to prevent wrong recognition of input signals from carrying noise or a
chattering.
- Compatible with PCI / PCI Express
bus board in it’s design. Common connector shape and pin
assignment with PCI / PCI Express
bus board
This product has the common connector shape and pin assignment with PCI bus board DA16-4(LPCI)L,
PCI Express bus board AO-1604L-LPE so you can use the common cables and accessories, it is easy to
migrate from the existing system *1.
- Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0
Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0 and capable to achieve high speed transfer at HighSpeed (480 Mbps).
