Chapter 1
Introducing the OM-USB-2404-UI
The OM-USB-2404-UI is a USB 2.0 high-speed device that is supported under popular Microsoft® Windows®
operating systems. The OM-USB-2404-UI is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.
The OM-USB-2404-UI provides four channels of 24-bit universal analog input with integrated signal
conditioning. The device can be used to measure several signals from sensors such as RTDs, thermocouples,
load cells, and other powered sensors. The four channels are individually configurable, so a different
measurement type can be performed on each channel. All channels are measured simultaneously at up to
100 S/s per channel.
The OM-USB-2404-UI can perform the following measurements:
Voltage
Current
Thermocouple
RTD (4-wire and 3-wire)
Resistance (4-wire and 2-wire)
Bridge-based sensors (quarter-, half-, and full-bridge)
Measurement ranges vary for each type of measurement.
The device features built-in current and voltage excitation. The excitation circuit is protected from overcurrent
and overvoltage fault conditions. Each channel also has a built-in thermistor for cold-junction compensation
(CJC) calculations when measuring thermocouples.
An analog pre-filter removes noise that may be present in the signals prior to conversion. With 250 VAC
channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation, the OM-USB-2404-UI protects the individual channels and
connected computer from ground spikes, and ensures a reliable data stream. An on-board LED indicates the
status of the device.
Each channel has a detachable six-position spring terminal for field wiring connections. Additional connectors
are available for purchase. A strain relief kit is also available to secure signal wires.
The USB 2.0 high-speed driver transfers data at rates up to 480 Mbps. The OM-USB-2404-UI is powered by
the +5 volt USB supply from your computer. No external power is required.

TEDS sensor connections
The OM-USB-2404-UI supports class II TEDS "smart" sensors only. Connect the two TEDS lines to TEDS
Data (T+) and TEDS Common (T–), and ensure that neither T+ nor T– is tied in common to any of the signal
inputs (terminals 3 through 6).
Signal source connections
You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to the OM-USB-2404-UI. For optimum signal
quality, use shielded cables and twisted pair wiring whenever possible.
When making a floating connection between the signal source and the OM-USB-2404-UI, make sure the
voltages on the positive and negative connections are within the channel-to-earth voltage range. Refer to the
Specifications chapter for operating voltages and information about overvoltage protection.

Don't connect to signals or use for measurements within category III or IV
Refer to the "Safety voltages" section in the Specifications chapter for information about Measurement
Categories.
Timing options
The OM-USB-2404-UI supports four timing options. Each option is optimized for different types of
applications by using different ADC conversion times.
High Speed: optimized for high-speed applications at the expense of noise rejection.
Best 60 Hz Rejection: optimized for rejection of 60 Hz noise.
Best 50 Hz Rejection: optimized for rejection of 50 Hz noise.
High Resolution: optimized for maximum overall noise rejection, and provides a good rejection of both
50 Hz and 60 Hz noise.
Refer to the analog input specifications for the conversion time and rejection ratio of each option.

OM-USB-2404-UI circuitry
Analog input circuitry
The OM-USB-2404-UI is channel-to-channel isolated. Four 24-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
simultaneously sample all four analog input channels. An excitation circuit is enabled for all input modes that
require excitation. The ADC and excitation circuits are reconfigured in each mode to accommodate each sensor
type. Figure 7 shows the input circuitry for one channel.
Figure 7. Input circuitry for one channel
Voltage and current modes
In voltage and current modes, connect the signal source to the OM-USB-2404-UI across the HI and LO
terminals. The current is computed from the voltage that the ADC measures across an internal shunt resistor.
Voltage and current mode connections are shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Voltage and current mode connections
4-wire resistance and 4-wire RTD modes
4-wire resistance and 4-wire RTD modes source a current which varies based on the resistance of the load
between the EX+ and EX– terminals. The measured resistance is calculated from the resulting voltage reading.
These modes are not affected by lead wire resistance, because a negligible amount of current flows across the
HI and LO terminals due to the high impedance of the ADC. 4-wire resistance and 4-wire RTD mode
connections are shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. 4-wire resistance and 4-wire RTD mode connections
13
Page 14
OM-USB-2404-UI User's Guide Functional Details
3-wire RTD mode
3-wire RTD mode sources a current which varies based on the resistance of the load between the EX+ and
EX– terminals. This mode compensates for lead wire resistance in hardware if all lead wires have the same
resistance. A gain of 2x is applied to the voltage across the negative lead wire. The ADC uses this voltage as the
negative reference to cancel the resistance error across the positive lead wire. 3-wire RTD mode connections are
shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10. 3-wire RTD mode connections
2-wire resistance and quarter-bridge modes
In 2-wire resistance and quarter-bridge modes, connect the two ends of the resistor or gauge to the OM-USB2404-UI across the HI and LO terminals. These modes source a current which varies based on the resistance of
the load between the HI and LO terminals. The resulting resistance is calculated from the voltage measurement.
2-wire and quarter-bridge modes do not compensate for lead wire resistance. 2-wire resistance and
quarter-bridge mode connections are shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. 2-wire resistance and quarter-bridge mode connections
Half-bridge and full-bridge modes
Half-bridge and full-bridge modes use the internal voltage excitation to set the input range of the ADC, and
return voltage readings that are proportional to the excitation level. The internal excitation voltage is nominally
2.5 V, but it can vary based on the resistance of the sensor. Refer to the Specifications chapter for more
information about excitation levels.
In half-bridge mode, the HI input is referenced to EX–. In full-bridge mode, the ADC reads the HI and LO
inputs differentially.
14
Page 15
OM-USB-2404-UI User's Guide Functional Details
Half-bridge and full-bridge mode connections are shown in Figure 12. The dotted lines in the figure represent
the portion of the circuit that is only connected in full-bridge mode.
Figure 12. Half-bridge and full-bridge mode connections
Thermocouple mode
In thermocouple mode, connect the positive end of the thermocouple to HI, and the negative end of the
thermocouple to LO. This mode uses the ±1.25 mV range of the ADC to return a voltage reading. Use shielded
cables and twisted pair wiring, and ground the shielded cables.
Each channel has a built-in thermistor for cold-junction compensation (CJC) calculations. For improved CJC
sensor accuracy, operate the OM-USB-2404-UI in a stable temperature environment, and avoid placing heat
sources near the device or its connectors. Open thermocouple detection is not supported. Refer to the
Specifications chapter for more information about accuracy. Thermocouple mode connections are shown in
Figure 13.
Figure 13. Thermocouple mode connections
Excitation protection
The OM-USB-2404-UI excitation circuit is protected from overcurrent and overvoltage fault conditions. The
circuit is automatically disabled in the event of a fault condition. Whenever possible, channels automatically
recover after the fault is removed.
