A G R E AT E R M E A S U R E O F C O N F I D E N C E USB modules offer good noise immunity,
with performance benefits for noise-sensitive
measurements. USB cables are typically 1 to
5 meters long, so the I/O circuitry is locat-
ed further away from the computer's noisy
motherboard and power supplies, and closer
to the signals they will be measuring.
Most USB modules offer full- and high-
speed data transfer rates. Computers config-
ured with USB 1.1 ports can transfer data to
and from a USB DAQ module at up to 12
Mbits/second. The full-speed rate is good
for data streaming applications and supports
data acquisition rates of up to 400kHz. For
high-performance applications, USB mod-
ules that comply with USB 2.0 and are con-
nected to PCs with a high-speed USB 2.0
port can attain data transfer rates of up to
480 Mbits/second. The increased bandwidth
