Preface About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide describes the Omega Engineering OMB-DAQ-2408 Series data acquisition devices and lists device specifications. Conventions in this user's guide For more information about … Text presented in a box signifies additional information and helpful hints related to the subject matter you are reading.
These devices are USB 2.0 high-speed devices supported under popular Microsoft Windows operating systems. The OMB-DAQ-2408 Series is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports, although the speed of the module maybe limited when using USB 1.1 ports. Each OMB-DAQ-2408 Series device provides the following features: ...
OMB-DAQ-2408 Series User's Guide Introducing the OMB-DAQ-2408 Series OMB-DAQ-2408 Series block diagram OMB-DAQ-2408 Series functions are illustrated in the block diagram shown here. Figure 1. OMB-DAQ-2408 Series functional block diagram...
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.
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.
LED indicates the communication status of a device. This LED blinks when data is Activity transferred, and is off when the device is not communicating. Screw terminals OMB-DAQ-2408 Series devices have two banks of screw terminals. Screw terminal functions for SE and DIFF modes are identified in Figure 3 and Figure 4.

OMB-DAQ-2408 Series User's Guide Functional Details The OMB-DAQ-2408 Series device screw terminals provide the following connections: – see Figure 3) or eight DIFF ( 16 SE ( ) analog input connections CH15 CH0H/CH0L CH7H/CH7L Eight digital I/O connections (...
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
OMB-DAQ-2408 Series User's Guide Functional Details External pull-up/pull-down capability You can also place an external pull-up resistor on any of the DIO bits, which enables you to pull the DIO bit up to a voltage that exceeds the internal +5 V pull-up voltage.
