Easy to use

One thing that was not clear in the datasheet. This is not 24 independent IO lines. There are 4 sets that as a group can be in or out. A is a bank of 8. B is a bank of 8. C is broken up into 2 banks of 4. Keep that in mind when designing with this board.

Great Alternative to PCI-DIO24

This is a great alternative to PCI-DIO24. It's easier to use, and less error prone with user-maintanable hardware systems. However, when connecting to the USB connection for the first time, it will automatically revert the DIO states to default. This is unlike the PCI card which maintained state.

Hello - MCC does not have a header file for, nor support for VBA. Our Universal Library does have support for VB.NET, via the MCCDAQ.DLL (DOT.NET framework).

Answers

There is no individual Windows driver for the USB-DIO24/37 model. Our Windows driver set is named InstaCal, which covers many USB models. Here are two download links. One is for InstaCal only, the other is for the full MCCDAQ software suite, which also includes the Universal Library and InstaCal https://www.mccdaq.com/downloads/InstaCal/ and https://www.mccdaq.com/downloads/MCCDaqCD/

Yes, multiple DAQ devices can be used. First devices are identified by InstaCal, and each assigned a different logical board number (0, 1, etc.). Then Our ULx for NI LabVIEW driver will present all channels of all devices to you, when you browse for channels.

Hello - The USB-DIO24/37 device utilizes the 82C55 programmable peripheral interface IC which supports up to 24 programmable TTL I/O bits (programmable in 2 groups of 8, and 2 groups of 4) For your RS232 input, you could use our DASYLab Graphical programming language to capture your scale and thumbwheel data and send it to an Excel file. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.
