How to implement dozen USB connections?

[Err]

Hello,

We have a system, that include 7-10 USB devices  (step motors, ccd-detectors, web-camera etc), and we need to control it from 1 PC. The first thing that may be helpful is USB-hub for dozen connections. Is it right way to implement connection? Or we need to use another device for signal condition?

PS Connection speed and noise immunity are not critical points.

You will likely need to go with the USB Hub solution. I haven't personally tried using that many USB acquisition devices on one computer but it should work. Since they are USB and not network enabled devices, there is not much else to try.

Have a great day!

Hi Err-

This is not an official "National Instruments Recommended" solution, but I can tell you that we have used one of these hubs in some internal test systems at NI and have had good results.  Any high quality off-the-shelf hub (or hubs) should work fine for your application.  A name-brand hub from your local electronics store should do the trick.
