    Figure 3. Rear panel (USB connection and LED) Screw terminals (CH0 to CH3) The USB-2404-60 has four 2-terminal detachable screw terminals for connection to four isolated analog inputs. The maximum sampling rate is 50 kS/s per channel, and the input voltage range is ±60 V, nominal. The channels may be sampled individually or simultaneously.

    Connect the positive signal of the signal source to the CH+ screw terminal.  Connect the negative signal of the signal source to the CH – screw terminal.  The following figures show the connections between the USB-2404-60 and both a grounded signal source and a floating signal source. Signal Source USB-2404-60 Figure 5.
  • Page 12: Analog Input Circuitry

    Categories. Analog input circuitry The USB-2404-60 analog input channels are floating with respect to earth ground and to each other. The incoming analog signal on each channel is conditioned, buffered, and then sampled by a 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC. Each channel provides an independent signal path and ADC, enabling you to sample all four channels simultaneously.
  • Page 13: Stopband Bandwidth

    Alias-free bandwidth Any signal that appears in the alias-free bandwidth of the USB-2404-60 is not an aliased artifact of signals at a higher frequency. The alias-free bandwidth (0.453 · is defined by the ability of the filter to reject frequencies above the stopband frequency.
