Introducing the PMD-1024HLS
Connecting a PMD-1024HLS to your computer is easy
Installing a data acquisition device has never been easier.
The 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.
The PMD-1024HLS is plug-and-play. There are no jumpers to position, DIP switches to set, or
interrupts to configure.
You 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.
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.
