Introducing the USB-7202
The USB-7202 is a USB 2.0 full-speed device that provides the following features:









Eight channels of 16-bit analog input
o 100 kS/s max total throughput (200 kS/s with BURSTIO enabled), 50 kS/s on any one channelo Simultaneous sampling (1 A/D converter per input)
o Independently configurable input ranges
Eight individually configurable digital I/O channels
32-bit event counter
Digital trigger input
Bidirectional SYNC pin for external clocking and synchronization with another board

Stackable 3.55" x 3.75" board dimensions

The USB-7202 device is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The speed of the device may belimited 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 USB-7202 is powered by the +5 volt USB supply from your computer; no external power is required. The
device is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. A USB cable is shipped with the device.
Caution! There are no product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or CE marking complianceclaims made for the USB-7202. The USB-7202 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.

Installing the USB-7202
UnpackingAs with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the device from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply
touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
Contact us immediately if any components are missing or damaged.

Installing the software
Refer to the MCC DAQ Quick Start and the USB-7202 product page on our website for information about thesoftware that supports the device.
Install the software before you install your device
The driver needed to run the USB-7202 is installed with the software. Therefore, you need to install thesoftware package you plan to use before you install the hardware.

Installing the hardware
There are two ways to connect the USB-7202 to your system:
Connect a USB cable from the USB connector to either a USB port on the computer or to an external USB
hub connected to the computer. No external power is required.

or

Use a 2.54 mm (0.1 in.) box header to connect with the OEM connector. The connector pinout is shown
here:

When you connect the USB-7202 for the first time, a Found New Hardware message opens as the device is
detected. The installation is complete when the message closes.
After the USB-7202 is installed, the Power LED remains on to indicate that communication is establishedbetween the USB-7202 and your computer.
Caution! Do not disconnect any device from the USB bus while the computer is communicating with theUSB-7202, or you may lose data and/or your ability to communicate with the USB-7202.
If the Power LED turns off
If the Power LED is on but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the USB-7202. To restore
communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore
communication, and the Power LED should turn on.

Calibrating the hardware
Factory calibration
The Measurement Computing Manufacturing Test department performs the initial factory calibration. Contact
Measurement Computing for details about how to return your device and have it calibrated to the factory
specifications.

Field calibration
The USB-7202 supports field calibration. Calibrate the device using InstaCal whenever the ambient temperaturechanges by more than ±10 °C from the last calibration.

Chapter 3

Functional Details
Analog input acquisition modes
The USB-7202 can acquire analog input data in three different modes – software paced, hardware paced, or
BURSTIO.

Software paced
You can acquire one analog sample at a time in software paced mode. You initiate the A/D conversion bycalling a software command. The analog value is converted to digital data and returned to the computer. You
can repeat this procedure for each channel desired until you have the total number of samples that you wantfrom each channel.
The maximum throughput sample rate in software paced mode is about 250 S/s, but may vary depending on
your system. You may receive OVERRUN errors at higher rates on some platforms. Using the BURSTIO
mode should resolve these problems.

Hardware paced
You can acquire data from up to eight channels simultaneously in hardware paced mode. The analog data is
continuously acquired and converted to digital values until you stop the scan. Data is transferred in blocks of
up to 32 samples from the USB-7202 to the memory buffer on your computer.
The maximum sampling rate is an aggregate rate, where the total sample rate for all channels is 100 kS/s
divided by the number of channels, with a maximum rate of 50 kS/s for any channel. Using this equation, you
can acquire data with the USB-7202 from one channel at 50 kS/s, two channels at 50 kS/s each, four channels
at 25 kS/s each, and so on, up to eight channels at 12.5 kS/s each. You can start a hardware paced scan witheither a software command or with an external hardware trigger event.

BURSTIO
When using BURSTIO, the USB-7202 can acquire data using the full capacity of its 32 kilosample FIFO. The
acquired data is then read from the FIFO and transferred to a user memory buffer on the computer. You caninitiate a single acquisition sequence for any number of input channels with either a software command orwith an external hardware trigger.
When BURSTIO is enabled, scans are limited to the depth of the onboard memory, as the data is acquired at a
rate faster than it can be transferred to the computer. The maximum sampling rate is an aggregate rate, where
the total acquisition rate for all channels is 200 kS/s divided by the number of channels. The maximum rate
for each channel is 50 kS/s. The maximum rate that you can acquire data using BURSTIO is 50 kS/s perchannel for one, two, or four channels, and 25 kS/s per channel for eight channels.

Modifications are required to use the OEM connector
To use the OEM connector, create a USB connection via the OEM connector by populating two resistor
locations. The resistors you populate depends on the board revision. The board revision may be determinedfrom the part number label on the board that states "195729X-01L", where X is the board revision.
Revision D and later: populate R13 and R14 with 0402 size 22.1 Ω resistors.
Revision C and earlier: populate R30 and R36 with 0603 size 0 Ω resistors or provide solder bridges to close
the gaps.

Signal connections
Analog input
You can connect up to eight analog input connections to screw terminals CH0 IN through CH7 IN. Connect
unused analog input terminals to ground terminals during operation. All AI channels are configured forsingle-ended input mode. The input voltage ranges are ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.0 V, ±1.0 V.
Each analog signal is referenced to signal ground (AGND), and requires two wires:

The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN.
The second wire connects to AGND.

Digital I/O
You can connect up to eight digital I/O lines to screw terminals DIO0 to DIO7. Each digital bit is configurable
as either input or output. When configured for input, the digital I/O terminals can be used to detect the state of
any TTL-level input.
Pull-up/down configuration
The digital pins are configurable via jumper JP1 for pull-up to USB +5 V (HI) or pull-down to ground (LO).
On power up and reset the DIO pins are driven high.

Functional Details

For more information on digital signal connections
For more information on digital signal connections and digital I/O techniques, refer to the Guide to DAQ
Signal Connections (available for download from www.mccdaq.com/support/DAQ-SignalConnections.aspx.)

SYNC I/O
The SYNC connection is a bidirectional I/O signal that can be configured as an input (default) or an output.
Configure as an external clock input to pace the A/D conversions from an external source. The SYNC
terminal supports TTL-level input signals of up to 50 kHz.
Configure as an output to pace conversions on a second USB-7202.

The SYNC pin on the screw terminal is internally connected to the SYNC pin on the Trigger/Sync connector(see page 12).

Trigger input
Use the digital trigger input (TRIG_IN) to start an acquisition when a rising or falling edge is detected on thesignal. This pin is internally connected to the TRIG_IN pin on the Trigger/Sync connector (see page 12).

Counter input
The CTR connection is a TTL-level input to a 32-bit event counter. The internal counter increments when the
TTL level transitions from low to high. The counter can count frequencies of up to 1 MHz.

Power output
The +5VUSER connection is a 5 volt output that is supplied by the host computer.
Caution! Do not connect to an external power supply to this terminal or you may damage the USB-7202
and possibly the computer.
The maximum total output current that can be drawn from all USB-7202 connections (power, analog, anddigital outputs) is 500 mA. This maximum applies to most personal computers and self-powered USB hubs.
Bus-powered hubs and notebook computers may limit the maximum available output current to 100 mA.
The USB-7202 alone draws 150 mA of current from the USB +5 V supply. Once you start runningapplications with the USB-7202, each DIO bit can draw up to 2.5 mA. The maximum amount of +5 V current
available for experimental use, over and above that required by the USB-7202, is the difference between the
total current requirement of the USB-7202 (based on the application) and the allowed current draw of thecomputer platform (500 mA for desktop computers and self-powered hubs). For Revision C hardware andearlier, this value shall not exceed 375 mA, based on the current rating of the Slo-Blo Fuse connected to the+5V terminal; Revision D and later hardware was designed without fuses.
With all outputs at their maximum output current, you can calculate the total current requirement of theUSB-7202 USB +5 V as follows:(USB-7202 @ 150 mA) + (8 DIO @ 2.5 mA ea) = 170 mA

For an application running on a computer or powered hub, the maximum available excess current is
500 mA − 170 mA = 330 mA. This number is the total maximum available current at the +5VUSER screw
terminal. Measurement Computing highly recommends that you figure in a safety factor of 20% below thismaximum current loading for your applications. A conservative, safe user maximum in this case would be in
the 250 mA to 300 mA range.
Since some laptop computers running on battery power only allow up to 100 mA, the USB-7202 may be
above that allowed by the computer. In this case, you must either purchase a self-powered hub or operate thelaptop computer from an external power adapter.

GroundThe analog ground (AGND) terminals provide a common ground for all analog channels. The digital ground(GND) terminals provide a common ground for the digital, trigger, counter, and sync channels and the power
terminal.

Accuracy
The overall accuracy of any instrument is limited by the error components within the system. Quite often,
resolution is incorrectly used to quantify the performance of a measurement product. While "16-bits" or "1part in 65,536" does indicate what can be resolved, it provides little insight into the quality, or accuracy, of an
absolute measurement. Accuracy specifications describe the actual measurement that can be relied upon witha USB-7202.
There are three types of errors which affect the accuracy of a measurement system:

offsetgain
nonlinearity

The primary error sources in the USB-7202 are offset and gain. Nonlinearity is small in the USB-7202, and is
not significant as an error source with respect to offset and gain.
Figure 6 shows an ideal, error-free, USB-7202 transfer function. The typical calibrated accuracy of the USB7202 is range-dependent, as explained in the Specifications chapter on page 19. We use a ±10 V range as an
example of what you can expect when performing a measurement in this range.
The accuracy plots in Figure 6 are drawn for clarity and are not drawn to scale.

Figure 6. Ideal ADC transfer function

The USB-7202 offset error is measured at mid-scale. Ideally, a zero volt input should produce an output codeof 32,768. Any deviation from this is an offset error. Figure 7 shows the USB-7202 transfer function with anoffset error. The typical offset error specification for the USB-7202 on the ±10 V range is ±1.66 mV. Offset
error affects all codes equally by shifting the entire transfer function up or down along the input voltage axis.

15USB-7202 User's Guide

Functional Details

The accuracy plots in Figure 7 are drawn for clarity and are not drawn to scale.

Figure 7. ADC transfer function with offset error

Gain error is a change in the slope of the transfer function from the ideal, and is typically expressed as apercentage of full-scale. Figure 8 shows the USB-7202 transfer function with gain error. Gain error is easily
converted to voltage by multiplying the full-scale input (±10 V) by the error.
The accuracy plots in Figure 8 are drawn for clarity and are not drawn to scale.

Figure 8. ADC Transfer function with gain error

For example, the USB-7202 exhibits a typical calibrated gain error of ±0.04% on all ranges. For the ±10 V
range, this would yield 10 V × ±0.0002 = ±4 mV. This means that at full scale, neglecting the effect of offset
for the moment, the measurement would be within 4 mV of the actual value. Note that gain error is expressed
as a ratio. Values near ±FS (±10 V) are more affected from an absolute voltage standpoint than are values
near mid-scale, which see little or no voltage error.
Combining these two error sources in Figure 9, we have a plot of the error band of the USB-7202 at ±full
scale (±10 V). This plot is a graphical version of the typical accuracy specification of the product.

Synchronized operations
You can connect the SYNC pin of two USB-7202 devices together in a master/slave configuration andacquire data from the analog inputs of both devices using one clock. When the SYNC pin is configured as an
output, the internal A/D pacer clock signal is sent to the screw terminal. If jumper P6 is installed, you can
output the clock to the SYNC pin of a second USB-7202 configured for A/D pacer input.
The SYNC pin is available on both the screw terminal connector and on the Trigger/SYNC connector (whenjumper P6 is installed). Refer to page 14 for more information about the SYNC pin.

This is the total current requirement for the USB-7202, which includes up to 10 mA for the status LED.
"Self-powered hub" refers to a USB hub with an external power supply. Self-powered hubs allow a connected
USB device to draw up to 500 mA. "Root port hubs" reside in the computer USB host Controller. The USB
port(s) on your computer are root port hubs. All externally-powered root port hubs (desktop computers) provide
up to 500 mA of current for a USB device. Battery-powered root port hubs provide 100 mA or 500 mA,
depending upon the manufacturer. A laptop computer that is not connected to an external power adapter is an
example of a battery-powered root port hub. If your laptop computer is constrained to the 100 mA maximum,
you need to purchase a self-powered hub.
This is the total amount of current that can be sourced from the +5VUSER and digital outputs.
