Introducing the PMD-1024HLS

Connecting a PMD-1024HLS to your computer is easy

Installing a data acquisition device has never been easier.

ƒThe PMD-1024HLS 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 PMD-1024HLS. No third-party device driver is required.

ƒThe PMD-1024HLS is plug-and-play. There are no jumpers to position, DIP switches to set, or interrupts to configure.

ƒYou can connect the PMD-1024HLS 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.

ƒYou 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.

ƒYou do not need a separate power supply module. The USB automatically delivers the electrical power required by each peripheral connected to your system.

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