![]() If you do not see a window appear that is similar to the one in Figure 3, you may have disabled the “autorun†feature of your CD-ROM. Insert the BSI Software Installation CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive and the installation application should start automatically. The installation process only takes a couple of minutes. Installing the Instacal SoftwareThe Instacal Software facilitates the communication between applications and the USB 1024ls. The first time the USB 1024ls is plugged into a USB port Windows will automatically identify and install the USB-1024LS as a “USB Human Interface Device†and display the notice shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: “Found New Hardware” message indicates the USB 1024ls has been detected. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not normally possible to use USB cables over distances greater than 5 metres. If you need a longer cable you can order a replacement from your local computer store – the cable is known as an “A to B USB cableâ€. The cable will only plug in one way as the two ends are different as shown here. Connecting to your ComputerTake the USB cable and plug one end into the USB-1024LS and the other end into a spare USB port on your computer (i.e. ![]() USB1014-LS USB Trigger/Closure Kit & User Manualįigure 1: The USB 1024ls and supplied USB cable are shown.When the USB-1024ls is set up as a closure kit, it generates TTL signals. Some devices interface with ‘dry closures’ (IE: a physical relay with open and closed states), an ‘open collector’ (IE: a solid state transistor with open and closed states), or a TTL signal (IE: a voltage from ~0v off on to ~3-5v when on). ![]() Outboard devices such as cart decks, cd players, transmitters, consoles, and more, use closures to allow automation control. Closures* are signals used to control other devices (think of closures as an outgoing signal and a trigger as an incoming signal). Check the Components Unpack the USB1024-LS taking care to observe static precautions. Typically, triggers are controlled by closing contacts on your satellite receiver but can also be used to interface your mixing console or start buttons with Simian and thus facilitate “remote control†of your Simian automation software. All connections are via convenient screw terminals at each side of the device. As the USB-1024LS is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) device it is powered directly by your computer and is very easy to install and configure (there is no need to open up your PC). When used as a closure* kit, it offers up to 24 TTL outputs for your Simian automation system to control outboard devices (there is no physical difference between the Trigger Kit and the Closure Kit, it is just a matter of how it is configured and used). When used as a trigger kit, it offers up to 24 trigger inputs for your Simian automation system. OverviewThe USB-1024LS is low-cost, self-contained, USB-powered and very compact.
