LEDs 

When the USB-2416-4AO is connected to a computer, in its normal idle state both LEDs are lit solid green.  

Power LED 

The Power LED is the top LED on the right side of the USB-2416-4AO housing.  

The Power LED blinks when you plug the power supply into the USB-2416-4AO, and continues to blink while 
the device initializes the hardware. If it continues blinking for more than ½ second, then there is a problem with 
the USB-2416-4AO and you should cycle the power. 

If an application issues a "blink LED" command, then the power LED blinks a few times. 

Activity LED 

The (USB) Activity LED is the bottom LED on the right side of the USB-2416-4AO housing. It blinks rapidly 
when both the USB cable and external power cables are plugged in. It continues blinking rapidly while the 
device is connecting to the computer, and then turns solid.  

Whenever the device receives a USB command, the Activity LED blinks off and then returns to solid green. 
When an analog in scan is running, the Activity LED blinks continuously. 

USB connector 

The USB connector is on the right side of the USB-2416-4AO provides communication. 

External power connector 

The USB-2416-4AO require external power through this connector to provide sufficient power for the USB-
2416-4AO.  

Connect the PS-5V2AEPS power supply to the external power supply connector. This power supply provides 
5 VDC, 2 A power to the USB-2416-4AO. 

Screw terminal wiring 

The USB-2416-4AO has six groups of screw terminals—three on each side of the housing. Each group has 
16 connections. Pin numbers are identified in Figure 4 and Figure 5.  

Analog/TC input terminals 

You can connect up to 32 single-ended analog input connections or up to 16 differential analog/TC input 
connections to these screw terminal pins. 

 

CH0H and CH0L 

 

CH1H and CH1L 

 

CH2H and CH2L 

 

CH3H and CH3L 

 

CH4H and CH4L 

 

CH5H and CH5L 

 

CH6H and CH6L 

 

CH7H and CH7L 

 

CH8H and CH8L 

 

CH9H and CH9L 

 

CH10H and CH10L 

 

CH11H and CH11L 

 

CH12H and CH12L 

 

CH13H and CH13L 

 

CH14H and CH14L 

 

CH15H and CH15L 

You can select a unique input range or signal type for each channel. For example, one channel could be used for 
volts and another for temperature.  

When connecting differential voltage inputs to a "floating" voltage source, make sure there is a DC return path 
from each voltage input to ground. You make this path by connecting a resistor from each input to a GND pin 
(pins 18, 36, 39, 42, 44, 46, 66, 81, 84). A value of approximately 100 k

Ω can be used for most applications. 

This does not apply to channels configured for thermocouple input, as they have their own internal reference.
