This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or

altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,

or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-

lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as

a consequence of such events.

Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For

example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware

and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any

onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-

ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return

merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows

us to process your return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and

Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date

(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product

returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-

ranty service.

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the

products from damage.

1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your

PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on

the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.

2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The

sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may

damage sensitive electronic components.

USB-4702 User Manual 2

Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for buying the Advantech USB-4702 data acquisition module.

The Advantech USB-4702 is a powerful data acquisition (DAS) module

for the USB port. It features a unique circuit design and complete func-

tions for data acquisition and control.

1.1 Features

USB-4702 has the most requested measurement & control functions:

• 8 single-ended/ 4 differential or combination analog input channels

• 12-bit resolution A/D converter, with up to 10 kS/s sampling rate

• 8 digital input & 8 digital output channels (TTL Level)

• 2 analog output channels

• 16-bit programmable counter/timer x 1

• Programmable gain for each analog input channel

• Automatic channel/gain scanning

• Onboard 512K samples FIFO buffer for AI channels

• Bus-powered

• Supports high-speed USB 2.0

• Auto calibration function

• Hot swappable

Note: The USB chip on your system may have a limitation on

the number of USB devices it will support. Normally,

only five USB-4702 devices can be supported.

Note: The power output of an USB port is 500 mA, while the

USB-4702 requires 500 mA (max.). This means that if

an USB hub is used, it will need an external power sup-

ply to support more than one USB-4702 device.

1.2 Software Overview

Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and

I/O function library to help boost your application performance and work

seamlessly with development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic,

Inprise C++ Builder, and Inprise Delphi.
