CyberResearch UMDAS 0802DA - Manual (Page 12)

Connecting a UMDAS 0802DA to your computer is easy
Installing a data acquisition device has never been easier.
! The UMDAS 0802DA 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
UMDAS 0802DA. No third-party device driver is required.
! The UMDAS 0802DA is plug-and-play. There are no jumpers to position, DIP switches to set, or interrupts to
configure.
! You can connect the UMDAS 0802DA 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.
