Chapter 2 Getting Started

Install software (Do not start it)
 Connect DIG-USB-F module to PC USB port
 Complete install of USB hardware drivers
 Start software
Chapter 2 details connecting the DIG-USB-F module, what the Toolkit software can do, and how to use the Toolkit
software.
Communications Interface Information
DIG-USB-F modules connect via USB cable to a PC USB port. DIG-USB-F modules draw less than 100mA "appearing
as a single unit load," as such, they do not require an external power supply.
Installing the DIG-USB-F (FSU) Toolkit software; also installs the appropriate USB drivers as well.
DIG-USB-F (FSU) Toolkit
The DIG-USB-F (FSU) Toolkit is a configuration and analytical tool designed specifically for configuring DIG-USB-F
modules.
This toolkit allows configuration, calibration, data recording, data review, and parameter management of the
modules.
What Can The Toolkit Do?
Communications with a single module at a time to do the following:

Viewing of input with indication of integrity errors.

Two point auto calibration by application of known weight.

Two point table calibration from load cell calibration certificate.

Setting System Zero.

Engineering unit selection.

Save module settings including user calibration and ability to restore to same or different USB DIG-USB-F
modules.
 Capture up to 30 minutes of data at 4800 Hz. Save data to CSV file. Navigate up to 30 minutes of data
captured from the DIG-USB-F or loaded from a previously saved CSV file.
 Trend chart view of live input. Exportable image and data.
 FFT view to identify frequency components of input signal.
 Simple oscilloscope view for wave based signals between 1 Hz and 500 Hz.
 Easily switch to alternative engineering units (If module has been previously calibrated)
Please note the DIG-USB-F (FSU) Toolkit is not required to perform traditional logging (Where the user starts and
stops a log). The DIG-USB-F module operates in two modes, continuous receiving data mode, and configuration
mode. The continuously receiving data mode obtains measurement values at 4800 Hz. The configuration mode talks
with the strain gage module, while in configuration mode data is not streamed. As will be seen later, the Toolkit
allows capturing up to 30-minutes of data as long as the user stays out of configuration mode pages. This 30-minute
block of data is easily and quickly navigated to find data of interest.
