applications that can be deployed across multiple operating systems and custom embedded systems.
DAQFlex software for each supported operating system is available from the DAQFlex download page at

www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/DAQFlex%20Software.pdf for instructions about how to install DAQFlex

Installing the hardware
Install the software before you install your device
A driver needed to run the USB-2001-TC is installed when you install the software. Therefore, you need to
install DAQFlex software before you install the hardware.
To connect the USB-2001-TC to your system, connect a USB cable from the USB connector to either a USB
port on the computer or to an external USB hub connected to the computer. No external power is required.
If the LED turns off
If the LED is on but then turns off, the computer has lost communication with the USB-2001-TC. To restore
communication, disconnect the USB cable from the computer, and then reconnect it. This should restore
communication, and the LED should turn on.
