13-Bit Multifunction High Speed DAQ Devices
Analog Input
Each device supports software‑selectable
ranges from ±5 V to ±20 V in differential
mode, and software‑selectable ranges
from ±2.5 V to ±10 V, and 0 V to 10 V
in single‑ended mode.
Sample Rate
USB‑1208HS Series devices can sample
at a maximum of 1 MS/s in hardware
paced mode.
External Clock I/O
Each device has an external clock input
terminal that supports input signals up
to 1 MHz to pace A/D conversions from
an external source.
The USB‑1208HS‑2AO/USB‑1208HS‑4AO
also have an external clock input terminal
that supports input signals up to 1 MHz to
pace D/A conversions from an external
source.
Each device has a clock output terminal
to output the A/D sampling clock. The
USB‑1208HS‑2AO/USB‑1208HS‑4AO also
have a clock output terminal to output
the D/A sampling clock.
Analog Output
The USB‑1208HS‑2AO provides two 12‑bit
analog outputs, and the USB‑1208HS‑4AO
provides four 12‑bit analog outputs. The
output range is ±10 V. Each output can
update at a maximum rate of 1 MS/s.
Digital I/O
Users can program each of the 16 TTL‑level
digital I/O lines for either input or output.
Each USB‑1208HS Series device has a user‑
configurable internal jumper to configure
the digital bits for pull‑up or pull‑down
(default).
Counter Input
Each device supports two 32‑bit TTL‑level
counters that accept frequency inputs of
up to 20 MHz.
Timer Output
USB‑1208HS Series devices include a pulse
width modulation (PWM) timer output
with a software‑selectable frequency range
up to 20 MHz.
Calibration
USB‑1208HS Series devices are factory‑
calibrated using a NIST‑traceable calibra‑
tion process. Specifications are guaranteed
for one year. For calibration beyond one
year, return the device to the factory for
recalibration.
All USB-1208HS Series devices provide eight singled-ended or four differential analog inputs
at up to a 1 MS/s sampling rate, and 16 digital I/O.

Overview
USB‑1208HS Series devices are low‑cost, 13‑bit devices that offer four differential
(DIFF) or eight single‑ended (SE) analog inputs, 16 digital I/O channels, two
counter inputs, and one timer output. A digital trigger lets you start analog input
or output conversions.
The USB‑1208HS‑2AO includes two analog outputs and the USB‑1208HS‑4AO
includes four analog outputs.
