Daisy chained Measurement Computing USB products connect to the USB bus through
the USB-PDISO8. You can daisy chain a maximum of four Measurement Computing U
USB 2.0 port on your computer, or a maximum of two devices to a single USB 1.1 port. Use the supplied cable
or an equivalent cable for daisy chaining to additional Measurement Computing USB products.
Measurement Computing USB products are USB 2.0 full-speed devices that provide a signaling
equivalent cable when daisy chaining Measurement Computing USB products.
To daisy-chain two or more USB-PDISO8 modules, follow the steps below. Thi
already connected to the computer is referred to as the connected module. The USB-PDISO8 you want to d
chain to the connected module is referred to as the new module.
