USB-1024LS

August 24, 2021

Low price and good quality.

I hesitated a lot before buying this USB interface seen the low price but it is worth it. Quality construction and very easy to install and so far the yield is perfect. This interface, at least, I believe will last over time. I do not regret my investment. I recommend this purchase. Thank you for reading this comment hoping that it can help you make the right choice.

Low cost, easy to use

As an applications engineer for Tektronix, I used and recommended the USB-1024LS for controlling Test & Measurement instruments with digital I/O ports, e.g. AWG's with table jump for creating EW radar signals on the fly. We also used them in ATE systems to control and monitor various electro-mechanical devices, e.g. robotic are to load semiconductor wafers on an optical inspection station. The hardware is well packaged, rugged and easy to use in a lab or production environment. The software drivers, example and documentation are top quality. Everything came up and running first try. I didn't need tech support.

HID devices are recognized very slowly on some newer Windows PCs. Try waiting longer after a re-boot. If you are using a USB or USB distance extension scheme, try without it. By referring to it as a PMD, that implies that it is very old (perhaps 15 years) … maybe you have moved on to a newer PC with USB 3.0 (try USB 2.0). If the LED is on solid, then this usually means proper enumeration. Check for duplicate copies of CBW32.DLL and CB.CFG on the hard drive, including in hidden folders.

Our USB-1024LS is not compatible with the DMDX software application. However, I did find that the APDM wearable sensors that you are looking to use and control do have a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) that supports MATLAB, C and Linux. With that said, our USB-1024LS also has support for MATLAB, C and Linux as well so it may be possible to develop a program using both SDKs from APDM and MCC.

We have tried this same setup, and it works OK. But we do see a possible cause for what you report. If you used the “AutoFill All” feature to add all 24 “Di” bits of each board, it may also have added a 25th channel, counter channel “Ci0”. This would cause the channels on the second board to shift one spot (not the two spots you report). To prevent this, before selecting AutoFill All, first select “Digital Input Only” rather than “All Supported”. If you still have an issue, please contact our Tech Support department, and they can review your .SCC configuration file and/or provide you with theirs.

The USB-1024LS supports 24 programmable digital I/O bits and one 32 bit event counter. The event counter would be ideal for this project in that it will count pulses (TTL) up to a 1 MHz input rate and totalize the counts it acquires. There are a couple of options for software. TracerDAQ supports the event counter but is limited to 32K counts. TracerDAQ PRO ($199.00) increases the count total to 1 million samples. If using TracerDAQ the Initial logging is to a binary file with the capabilities of converting the file to a .CSV file for use with Excel. We also include our Universal Library for Windows and our drivers for ULx for NI LabVIEW. Please contact Measurement Computing at 1-800-234-4232 Ext-3 for Sales if you have additional questions.

The USB-1024LS is not designed for clock pulse generation since your update rate is system dependent. We have posted a Knowledgebase article on this topic at the following link: http://kb.mccdaq.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50176.aspx?Keywords=USB-1024LS My recommendation would be to use one of our USB-CTR Series devices.

Roger - can you provide a few more details about what you're trying to do. I'm using the 1024LS in conjuction with a laser photo cell to detect when an object breaks the beam of light. In my case I've wired the photo cell to pins 19 and 20 (the counter), then using a timer in the software to **continually** retrieve the value of the counter. When the counter increments I know the beam has been broken - and I grab the time from the computer. I dont know if that's anywhere near what you're trying to do - but if not, shoot me any details and I might be able to help..

We’ve not tested these particular tablets, but InstaCal is compatible with any PC/tablet running Windows 8.1 PRO. The USB-1024HLS is a USB 1.1 device, and should work fine in the 2.0 port on the Lenova. The HP tablet has only USB 3.0, which you will want to test/confirm compatibility with, as USB 3.0 can vary. We don’t anticipate an issue, since the USB-1024HLS is an HID device and it uses the Microsoft HID driver that comes with Windows.
