Data Acquisition System (USB) Measurement & Control. Extremely Powerful. Precisely record and output signals with the USB-AD16f: The high-performance USB data acquisition system accomodated in a stable aluminum housing impresses by high technical standard and excellent price-performance ratio. It is especially suitable for dynamic applications. 16 Analog Inputs. 250kHz 16 Bit. ±10V, ±5V, ±2V, ±1V. 16 analog inputs can be sampled with 16 bit resolution and 250kHz total sampling rate so that even slightest peaks of high-frequent signals do not remain undetected. The measuring range is selected via software for each channel separately. 4 Digital Inputs/Outputs Each. 1 Counter. Digital states are recorded or set at four digital in puts and outputs each. Digital inputs are sampled time-synchronously with the analog inputs. The additional counter input is galvanically isolated. Plug & Play. The connection to the PC is realized via USB. The USB-AD16f provides all typical USB features (e.g. Plug&Play, Hot-Plug). Up to 127 devices can be connected and installed during operation. 2 Analog Outputs. 16 Bit. ±10V. The two 10V outputs can be used for analog controls with 16 bit accuracy. Clearly Safe. Due to the galvanic isolation of the analog channels the DAQ system and the PC are perfectly protected. Powered by USB. The device is supplied with power via the USB interface. This reduces cabling efforts to a minimum and makes mobile measurements a lot easier. Open for Everyone. Widely supported: The data acquisition system can be used under Windows® XP/7/8/10 as well as under Mac OS X, Free BSD, and Linux. The complete software for installation and programming of the USB-AD16f is included for free. NextView®4. Try for Free. The DAQ system is supported by NextView® 4, the software for data acquisition and analysis. A fully functional 30-day trial is included with delivery to directly test the functionality of the USB-AD16f. bavarian measurement company munich

1 Start-up Procedure Install the bmcm driver package (see chapter 5.1.1). Plug the red frames onto the short sides of the device with the feet looking downward as to be seen in the product picture. Connect one end of the USB cable to the device and the other to the USB-interface of the PC and start the Plug&Play installation (see chapter 5.1.2). The device is supplied with power via the USB-connection. If necessary, further software components can be installed now, as described in chapter 5. 2 Analog Inputs and Outputs The 37-pin D-Sub female connector at the front of the device is designed for...

3 Digital Inputs and Outputs The USB-AD16f features 4 digital inputs and outputs each (low: 0V..0.7V; high: 3V..5V) and an isolated counter input. The 5V auxiliary voltage at pin 6 can be used e.g. for sensor supply. All connections are led to the 15-pin D-Sub female connector on the back of the device. The pin assignment is as follows: O Din = Dlgltalelngang / digital input 9 DOut = Dlgltalausgang / digital output O DGND = digitale Masse / digital ground 9 4-5V; max. 20mA O Zahlereingang / counter Input ® n. c. = nicht verbunden / not connected O • The digital lines are protected by 1kfi resistors....

4.2 Interfacing Examples for Digital Inputs The 3.9kQ pull-down resistor sets the input to low if no voltage is applied there. 4.2.1 Connecting an Optocoupler Optocouplers provide optimum protection at each input line. With them, it is possible to connect higher voltages and to protect the hardware from being destroyed. In this regard, please also see application examples of the optocoupler you use. O Optocoupler cards featuring 8 inputs are available at bmcm. 4.2.2 Connecting a Push-Button / Switch Please make sure to use a push-button with debounce protection, because otherwise several pulses...

4.3 Interfacing Examples for Digital Outputs Serial resistors in the output lines limit the current and protect the hardware from being destroyed. 4.3.1 Connecting an LED Only so-called low-current LEDs can be used, because they already work with 1mA current. Please also observe the total current listed in the technical data (see chapter 7). 15-pol. D-Sub Buchse/ 15-pin DSub female Ausgang/ output 4.3.2 Connecting a Relay A connected relay is ideal to switch higher currents. Since the field coil of the relay requires a higher current than provided by the measurement system at one line, a transistor...

5 Software Installation All software and documentation available for the USB-AD16f are integrated on the "Software Collection" CD included with delivery. When inserting the CD, a CD starter opens automatically (otherwise: start openhtml.exe). Change to the product page of the USB-AD16f by selecting the entry "Products" in the CD starter and then the hardware ("USB-AD16f') listed under the interface "USB". For detailed information about installing or operating the software, please see the corresponding manuals. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to open the documentation in PDF format. You can...

Plug&Play Installation As soon as the device is connected to the PC, the system announces the new hardware ("USB-BASE"). Since the driver package has been copied to hard disc before, the hardware will be installed automatically under Windows® 7/8/10. Under Windows® XP, the automatic hardware detection is started by selecting the following: - Windows® 7/8/10: no specifications required - Windows® XP: "Install the software automatically" (SP2: do not connect with Windows® Update!) Check Installation The entry "Data Acquisition (BMC Messsysteme GmbH)" is included in the Windows® Device Manager after...

6 Important Notes for Using the USB-AD16f • The device is only suitable for extra-low voltages - please observe the relevant regulations! Only use the device with housing closed. ESD voltages at open lines may cause malfunction. • Only use non-solvent detergents for cleaning. The product is designed to be maintenance-free. • Signal cables are connected at the 37-pin or 15-pin D-Sub female connector - preferably use shielded cables. For best possible interference suppression, connect shield at one end only. Close open inputs if necessary. • The device ground and the chassis are electrically connected...
