    3.2.3 LED Indicator Status Description The USB Module is equipped with a LED indicator to show the current status of the device. When you plug the USB device into the USB port, the LED indicator will blink five times and then stay lit to indicate that it is on.
  • Page 22: Analog Input Connections

    A signal source without a local ground is also called a “floating source”. It is fairly simple to connect a single-ended channel to a floating signal source. In this mode, USB-4716 provides a reference ground for external floating signal sources.

    Low input. Figure 3-3 shows a differential channel connection between a grounded-reference signal source and an input channel on USB-4716. With this connection, the PGIA rejects a common-mode voltage V between the signal source and USB-4716 ground, shown as V in Figure 3-3.
  • Page 24: Analog Output Connections (Voltage)

    3.5 Trigger Source Connections 3.5.1 Internal Pacer Trigger Connection USB-4716 provides two 16-bit counters connected to a 10 MHz clock. Counter 0 is a counter that counts events from an input channel. Counter 1 is a 16-bit timer for pacer triggering. A low-to-high edge from the Counter 1 output will trigger an A/D conversion on USB-4716.
