USBcount50 USB PC Freqency/Period Counter
General Frequently Asked Questions
Does the count work well with USB1? Don't you need to use USB2?
USB1.1 is plenty fast enough for the USBcount50. We preferred USB1.1 over USB2 because USB1.1 is supported on more hardware platforms, and is lower power. If necessary, we may consider USB2 for future product designs.
Can I run more than one USBcount50 if they are not stacked together?
Yes, there is a mode called "MIS" (Multiple Independent Scope), where you can launch several copies of the application software and have each copy drive just one count unit. In this mode, each count works in a completely stand-alone way, and will also be isolated from any other scopes. The MIS mode requires that the counter units are not electrically stacked together using a stacking connector.
