Your application may take a few seconds to recognize a module once it is plugged back in.
Connecting to a Self-Powered USB Hub
Self-powered USB hubs are USB hubs that are powered by their own external power supply.
The practical number of DT9824 modules that you can connect to a single USB port depends
on the throughput you want to achieve.
Note:
The bandwidth of the USB Ver. 1.1 bus is 12 Mbits/second. For each DT9824 module,
the maximum sample rate is 4800 Samples/s x 4 bytes per samples x 5 channels (4 analog
input channels and the digital input port). Therefore, if you want to achieve full throughput
on each module, you should connect no more than four DT9824 modules to a single USB Ver.
1.1 port.
To connect a DT9824 module to a self-powered USB hub, do the following:
1.
Attach one end of the EP365 cable to the DT9824 module and the other end of the EP365
cable to a self-powered USB hub.
2.
Connect the power supply for the self-powered USB hub to an external power supply.
3.
Connect the hub to the USB port on the host computer using another EP365 cable.
The operating system automatically detects the USB device and starts the Found New Hardware
wizard.
