Hardware Setup
Once power has been applied to the USB DAQ Platform, you can connect one end of the USB cable to
the USB DAQ and the other end to a PC USB port, as shown in Figure 10. Figure 11 shows the typical
response to connecting the USB DAQ Platform to a PC USB port for the first time. Typically, the computer
responds with a Found New Hardware, USB Device pop-up message. The pop-up message typically
changes to Found New Hardware, USB Human Interface Device shortly after. This message indicates
that the device is ready to be used. The USB DAQ Platform uses the Human Interface Device drivers that
are part of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system.
In some cases, the Windows Add Hardware Wizard pops up. If this prompt occurs, allow the system
device manager to install the Human Interface Device drivers by clicking Yes when requested to install the
drivers.
