1. Before Using the Product
1. Before Using the Produ ct
This chapter provides information you should know before using the product.
About the Unit
This product is a USB2.0-compliant analog I/O unit that extends the analog I/O function of USB port of
PCs.
Compact design not restricting installation location (188.0(W) x 78.0(D) × 30.5(H)) makes it easy to
install the product within the panel or device using DIN rail mounting jigs, or on the floor or wall.
Windows driver library is supplied. Possible to be used as a data recording device for LabVIEW, with
dedicated libraries.
Features
Multi-function
Analog I/O can be implemented in a compact system. The series consi st s of two different models from
which you can select the best model to suit your application.
The < AIO-121602LN-USB > contains the analog input (12bit, 16ch), analog output (12bit, 2ch).
The < AIO-120802LN-USB > contains the analog input (12bit, 8ch), analog output (12bit, 2ch).
All two models include bi-directional digital inputs / outputs (16points, TTL level) and a counter (32bit
1ch, TTL level). You can select the input/output by the application software in eight signals units.
Analog I/O can be synchronized with an internal timer or external clock.
Analog I/O can both be performed at fixed time intervals and synchronized with an external signal.
- Digital filter function to prevent wrong recognition of external signal chattering is provided.
This product has analog input / output control signal, digital input signal and digital filter function to
prevent it from chattering in counter input signal. (Excluding external clock input signal, counter gate
signal)
Buffer memory available for background processing independent of software
The boards include buffer memory (1K Word each for analog input and output) which can be used in
either FIFO or ring forma t . This allows analog I/O to be performed independent ly of the operating state
of the PC or software.
Software-based calibration function
Calibration of analog input/output can be all performed by software. Apart from the adjustment
information prepared before shipment, additional adjustment information can be stored according to the
use environment .
- Compact design not restricting installation location (188.0(W) x 78.0(D) x 30.5(H))
Compact design of 188.0(W) × 78.0(D) × 30.5(H) does not require special installation location.
- Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0
Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0 and capable to achieve high speed transfer at HighSpeed (480 Mbps).

1. Before Using the Product
- Diverse installations such as screw fastening, magnet, DIN rail are possible
Installation on the floor / wall /ceiling is possible by screw fastening, magnet, rubber feet, etc.
In addition, DIN rail mounting mechanism is equipped as standard with the product, making it easy to
install the product within the panel or the device.
- Easy-to-wire terminal connector adopted
Adoption of terminal connector (with screws) enables to achieve easy wiring.
- Windows compatible driver libraries are attached.
Using the attached analog I/O driver API-USBP(WDM) mak es it possible to create applications of
Windows. In addition, a diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be checked is
provided.
Supported to the data logger software [C-LOGGER] (Analog input only)
Supporting the data logger software [C-LOGGER] that enables the graph display of recorded signal
data, file saving, and dynamic transfer to the spreadsheet software program “Excel”.
Plug-ins for the dedicated libraries, the board also supports MATLAB and LabVIEW.
We offer a dedicated library [ML-DAQ], which allows you to use this product on MATLAB by The
MathWorks as well as another dedicated library [VI-DAQ], whic h allows you to use the product on
LabVIEW.
These dedicated libraries are available, free of charge (downloadable), on our web site.

Step 4 Checking Operations with the Diagnosis Program
Use the diagnosis program to check that the product and driver software work normally, thereby you
can confirm that they have been set up correctly.
What is the Diagnosis Program?
The diagnosis program diagnoses the states of the product and driver software.
It can also be used as a simple checker when an external device is actually connected.
Using the “Diagnosis Report” feature reports the driver settings, the presence or absence of the product,
I/O status, and interrupt status.
Check Method
To check the analog I/O data, use the loopback connection on the board to directly connect the analog
output (channel 0) to an analog input, or connect to an external signal source.
No external connection is required if using loopback to check the I/O.
The figure below shows an example of checking by connecting to an external signal.
The example is for channel 0 on the product.

Input data remains indeterminate when no input pin is connected. The input pin for the channel not
connected to the signal source must be connected to the analog ground.
For details, see “Chapter 3 External Connection”.

2. Setup
Analog input
Select the input channel and input type from the lists.
Input data is plotted on a graph.
Analog output
You can select the desired output channel from the lists.
You can select the DC (constant voltage), sine wave, or square wave as the output data.
Digital I/O
In the diagnosis program, digital input / output is fixed to 8 points each.
The upper row of circular lamps indicates the digital input states. Red indicates the bit is ON and brown
indicates OFF.
Clicking the lower row of switches turns the digital output bits ON or OFF.
Counter input
Selecting a counter channel displays the count value and state of that counter channel.
Clicking the zero clear buttons resets the count to zero.
