    Data Capture Using USB2

    Hi,

    Now, I'm using data card for data capture. But it not support for windows 7.

    So i plan to capture data from USB port or Ethernet port.

    I choose USB2 for data capture.

    My requirement, Data capture speed is 60 Megabits per second using USB2.

    In Data sheet of USB2 , Capture Speed is 480 Mbps (Megabits per second).

    But, If i use usb mouse or any other usb device means, speed will be divide for all USB device.

    How can i get Data in the speed the of 60 Megabits per second using USB2?

    Is possible in USB2. Pls, clear me.
    Regards,

    SaraswathiSrinath

    I used RS232 & RS485. after installed the driver its shown like Com3, Com 4 in port setting.

    If i plug this USB2 means, How its appear ? & how can i get data from this.

    Re: Data Capture Using USB2

    This may not be doable with USB2 depending what you need.

    USB can run in different modes. Either in message mode or streaming and streaming has additional subtypes.

    You can get a guaranteed streaming speed (in one direction), but in that case you will have to deal with possible data loss.
    alternatively you can get guaranteed reception, but not a quaranteed speed.

    Even USB3 with it's higher max speed can't guarantee both transfer speed and reception at 60Mbps

    If you're ok with possible dataloss, then guaranteed speed (isochronous streaming transfer) is explained on:

    USB while "serial"... Has very little to do with RS232 communication.

    Hi,

    I used serial communication like below only,
    Code:
    BOOL SerialPort::InitPort(UINT portnr,UINT baud,char parity,
    UINT databits,UINT stopbits, DWORD dwCommEvents,UINT writebuffersize)
    {
            // Code for Port initialize
    }
    Initialize Like
    Code:
     InitPort(4,9600,'E',8,1);
    Read Data from port like
    Code:
    ReadFromPort()
    {
          bResult = ReadFile(m_hComm,&RXBuff,1,&BytesRead,&m_ov);
          bResult1 = GetOverlappedResult(m_hComm,&m_ov,&BytesRead,TRUE);
    }
    My doubt is, shall i use this same way to get high speed data? is possible?

    Thanks Mr.Victor & Mr.OReubens. I will read the posted web pages and come back.
    Regards,

    SaraswathiSrinath

    maybe... there are serial hardware ports that can do 60Mbps and larger and that you can access via the "COM" ports in windows.
    USB isn't among them

    While there are drivers that allow you to access a USB in a similar method as an RS232 (The Arduino project uses this principle). The speed at which you can do this is limited.

    If you need guaranteed 60Mbps (with possible dataloss), you will need to write a kernel mode isochronous USB driver.
    If you don't need the guaranteed speed, there are alternatives for USB. Such as interfacing via the WinUSB driver, they can offer data integrity, but the speed will be limited and may not be stable (data may come in bursts).
