Chapter 1 

Introducing the USB-1408FS-Plus-OEM 

The USB-1408FS-Plus-OEM is a USB 2.0 full-speed 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 13-bit single-ended inputs or four 
14-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 external clock for synchronous operation with more than one device. 

 

Two header connectors for field wiring connections 

The USB-1408FS-Plus-OEM device 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). 

The device is powered by the +5 V USB supply from the computer. No external power is required. 

Caution!

 

There are no product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or CE marking compliance 
claims made for the USB-1408FS-Plus-OEM. The USB-1408FS-Plus-OEM is intended for use as 
a component of a larger system. MCC can help developers meet their compliance requirements. 
The end product supplier, however, is responsible for conforming to any and all compliance 
requirements.
