Omega OM-USB-1208FS Manuale Utente

Installing a data acquisition device has never been easier.  

  The OM-USB-1208FS relies upon the Microsoft Human Interface Device (HID) class drivers. The HID 

class drivers ship with every copy of Windows that is designed to work with USB ports. We use the 
Microsoft HID because it is a standard, and its performance delivers full control and maximizes data 
transfer rates for your OM-USB-1208FS. No third-party device driver is required. 

  The OM-USB-1208FS is plug-and-play. There are no jumpers to position, DIP switches to set, or interrupts 

to configure. 

  You can connect the OM-USB-1208FS before or after you install the software, and without powering down 

your computer first. When you connect an HID to your system, your computer automatically detects it and 
configures the necessary software. You can connect and power multiple HID peripherals to your system 
using a USB hub.  

You can run up to two OM-USB-1208FS units on most computers. 

  You can connect your system to various devices using a standard four-wire cable. The USB connector 

replaces the serial and parallel port connectors with one standardized plug and port combination. 

  You do not need a separate power supply module. The USB automatically delivers the electrical power 

required by each peripheral connected to your system.  

  Data can flow two ways between a computer and peripheral over USB connections.
