Unless you have a "soft" USB controller that seem to crop up in some of the new "I" versions of Intel processors, the only thing of real concern with USB is to make sure you do not have a low speed polling device (keyboard/ mouse) or a very high bandwidth USB device like a Wireless card or hard drive connected to the same USB controller as the FLEX-1500.
You want to look at this KB article http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50459.aspx If you do have one of the "soft" USB controllers, then there are some enhancements in the upcoming beta version of PowerSDR that help mitigate the controller issues. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Tondee Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flexradio] 1500 on the way today...USB concerns? I'm waiting on my 1500 to be delivered today. Meantime, I've been reading the forums and scouting around in the KB articles. I've read a couple of things about USB issues that give me pause. MY PC is an HP a6333w desktop with an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.5Ghz processor. Chipset is identified as GEforce 6150SE n Force430. It has 3GB of memory and is running 32 bit Windows 7. It has USB 2.0 and I use a MS comfort curve 2000 keyboard that hooks up through USB. I have added a dual port PCIE video card that I believe has an Nvidia processor. This PC performed near flawlessly through a firewire hookup to a 5k but I have been unable to garner much info on it as far as how the USB controller is configured, perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. The device manager doesn't really seem to give that much info. I'm not trying to borrow trouble here but I read something in a post about the fact that a USB keyboard hooked to the same controller as the 1500 could slow the USB speed down and cause issues with the 1500. Any thoughts or am I just jumping the gun a bit here? _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
