    As with any electronic device, take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the OMB-DAQ-2408 Series device from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
  • Page 9: Installing The Hardware

    To connect a OMB-DAQ-2408 Series device to your system, turn on your computer and connect the USB cable to an available USB port on the computer or to an external USB hub connected to the computer. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the device.

    Signal connections Input isolation OMB-DAQ-2408 Series devices are isolated data acquisition devices. The analog I/O, digital I/O, counters, and all the digital control/timing are referenced to an isolated ground as shown in the figure below. This ground is physically and electrically separate from the ground used by the circuit connected to the system bus interface.

    OMB-DAQ-2408 Series User's Guide Functional Details Figure 5. OMB-DAQ-2408 Series input isolation diagram When making measurements in industrial environments, DAQ devices can encounter hazardous voltages, transients, large common mode voltages and fluctuating ground potentials. Any one of these issues can seriously degrade the measurement accuracy of the device and possibly damage the measurement instrument.
  • Page 14: Gain Queue

    Gain queue Use the OMB-DAQ-2408 Series channel - gain queue feature to configure a list of channels, modes, and gains for each scan. The settings are stored in a channel – gain queue list that is written to local memory on the device.
  • Page 15: Tc Input Mode

    TC output into the common-mode input range of the A/D. OMB-DAQ-2408 Series devices also provide an open TC detection feature for each of the analog input channels configured for TC measurement. This feature is enabled or disabled by software, and when enabled, it detects if an open-circuit condition exists at the TC sensor.
  • Page 16 Figure 8. OMB-DAQ-2408 Series A/D converter data rate vs. noise graph If low noise is your main concern, you can operate the OMB-DAQ-2408 Series device at very low data rates starting from 2.5 samples per second (S/s). At low rates, much of the noise is averaged out of the data, and issues such as reference noise become less important.

    OMB-DAQ-2408 Series User's Guide Functional Details Figure 9. OMB-DAQ-2408 Series data rate vs. resolution example Analog output (OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO only) The OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO has two 16-bit analog outputs ( AOUT0 AOUT1 ). Both outputs can be updated simultaneously at a rate of 500 S/s per channel. One output can be updated at a rate of 1000 S/s. The output range is fixed at ±10 V.
  • Page 18 Caution! The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components. Before removing the OMB-DAQ-2408 Series device from its housing, ground yourself using a wrist strap or touch the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
