3 Hardware Setup 3.2.1 USB-powered Hubs These hubs draw all power from the host USB connector’s power pins. The power is used for hub internal functions and for the hub’s ports. Each port of a USB-powered hub must be capable of supplying at least 100 mA. 3.2.2 Self-powered Hubs These hubs draw power from a source other than the host USB connector, with exception that they may draw up to 100 mA from their upstream connection for hub internal functions. The external power is used for hub internal

3 Hardware Setup 3.3 Connecting Your OM-DAQ-USB-2401 Acquisition System to PC NOTE: When using a power adaptor with your DAQ system, be sure to supply power (from the adaptor to the DAQ) before connecting the USB cable. This allows your DAQ to inform the host computer (upon connection of the USB cable) that the unit requires minimal power from the computer. Use an approved high-speed USB cable to connect the DAQ system to one of the host computer’s USB ports. There is no need for an additional p

3 Hardware Setup 3.4 Connecting Various Hardware Setups ON-DAQ-USB-2401 data acquisition systems range from simple to complex. One example of a simple system is that of one OM-DAQ-USB-2401 connected to a PC’s USB connector. A much more complex system is one that contains 10 OM- DAQ-USB-2401 units and a combination of USB-powered and self-powered hubs. Despite the wide range of possibilities in between, use of the following examples should enable you to properly connect your system. NOTE: In the

3 Hardware Setup 3.4.2 Connection to USB-powered Hub In this example, two OM-DAQ-USB-2401s are connected by cable to individual ports of a single USB-powered hub. Since the hub receives all its power from the computer’s USB, the hub cannot supply adequate power to the DAQ units. Because of this aspect of insufficient power, each unit is connected to its own power adaptor. POWER ADAPTER POWER ADAPTER USB HUB USB Figure 3-4.
