Universal Serial Bus (USB) . . .
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) offers several advantages over
conventional serial and parallel connections, including higher bandwidth and
the ability to provide power to the peripheral device. USB is ideal for mobile data acquisition
applications. Since the USB connection
supplies power, only one cable is required to link the data acquisition
device to the PC.
|
|
In addition, USB's
high-speed 32-bit digital PC link allows for a real-time display of acquired
data, while eliminating the need for expensive memory in the acquisition
device. With the backing of Intel,
Microsoft, and hundreds of other computer and peripheral companies, USB has
quickly become a new universal standard for PC-Based Test.
Because
USB is deterministic, the bandwidth allocated to a peripheral is guaranteed
for as long as the peripheral requests it. This means that SOUNDSERIES
data acquisition I/O modules can guarantee a particular transfer speed with
no loss of data.
Advantages Over
PC-Card (PCMCIA) and Plug-in Board Systems . . .
Compared to PC-Card-based
systems, our advanced sound-data acquisition I/O modules offer many
advantages. PC-Cards generally ARE NOT
isolated, can not handle high voltage inputs, have flimsy I/O connectors with
limited channel capacity via a 16-bit computer interface resulting in slow
data transfer rates, require an external option for signal connection,
consume valuable system resources and are prone to system-device conflicts.
Since PC-Cards
install internal to the PC, the PC must be located close to the test set-up
if low-noise measurements are desired, which is a conflict due to CRT and
other forms of noise interference (i.e. CPU, Video, RF) typically radiating
from the harsh PC environment. In
contrast, SOUNDSERIES modules can be located up to 16 feet away from
the PC (or nearly 100 feet away if hubs are used), offering greater
flexibility in test set-up and improved noise isolation. Moreover, the long, highly flexible USB
cable fastens securely using a reliable friction-fit connection, avoiding the
fragile cabling connection of most PC-Cards. Finally, SOUNDSERIES
modules will typically handle up to twenty times the input-voltage of typical
PC-Card or common sound card devices.
In addition to
advantages over PC-Card-based devices, SOUNDSERIES modules also
compare favorably to data acquisition plug-in boards. Installation of a plug-in board requires
opening the PC with a screwdriver, and often requires configuration using
software or jumpers. In contrast,
SOUNDSERIES modules install easily, can be hot-plugged for immediate
use simply by plugging them into the externally accessible USB port of the
PC, making it easy to transport the modules to another PC at any time.
