The OMB-DAQ-2408 Series are
multifunction DAQ devices designed
for highly-accurate voltage or
temperature measurements. Each
device features up to 16 single
ended (SE)/8 differential (DIFF)
analog inputs. Each device includes
8 digital I/O and two counter inputs.
The OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO also
features two analog outputs. Each
device in the series offers 24-bit
resolution for ultra-accurate voltage
or thermocouple measurements.

Digital I/O
Analog Input
Each device includes 16 SE/8
DIFF analog inputs which you
can configure for voltage or
thermocouple input on a per-channel
basis. Eight software-selectable
voltage input ranges are provided.
You can configure these ranges
on a per-channel basis from ±10V
to ±0.078V. When measuring
thermocouples, configure analog
inputs in DIFF mode. All devices also
include open thermocouple detection
to identify improperly working
thermocouples.
Sample Rate
OMB-DAQ-2408 modules can sample
analog input channels at up to 1 kS/s.

Eight digital I/O channels are
included with each OMB-DAQ-2408
and you can read from or write to
each individual bit.
Counters
Two 32-bit counters are included
with OMB-DAQ-2408 modules. The
TTL level inputs are capable of read/
write rates of up to 500 Hz and an
input frequency of up to 1 MHz.
Analog Output
(OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO Only)
The OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO includes
two 16-bit analog outputs. Each
output has a ±10V range. Both
outputs can be updated at a rate of
up to 500 S/s per channel; one output
can be updated at a rate of 1 kS/s.

Software
The OMB-DAQ-2408 Series modules
ship with an impressive array of
software, including TracerDAQ®, a
full-featured, out-of-the-box data
logging, viewing, and analysis
application. Driver support and
detailed example programs are
included for Universal Library
programming libraries for Microsoft®
Visual Studio® programming
languages, and other languages,
including DASYLab®, and ULx for
NI LabVIEW® (comprehensive
library of VIs and example programs
compatible with 32-bit and 64bit LabVIEW 2010 or later) and
InstaCalTM installation, calibration
and test utility-powerful solutions for
programmers and nonprogrammers
alike. These modules operate under
Microsoft Windows® VISTA/7/8/10
(32-bit and 64-bit) operating systems.
The OMB-DAQ-2408 Series data acquisition modules are supplied
with TracerDAQ software which is a collection of four virtual instrument
applications used to graphically display and store input data and
generate output signals:
•StripChart—Logandgraphvaluesacquirefromanaloginputs,
digital inputs, temperature inputs and counter inputs
•Oscilloscope—Displayvaluesacquiredfromanaloginputs
•FunctionGenerator—Generatewaveformsforanalogoutputs
•RateGenerator—Generatewaveformsforcounteroutputs
