Operation
Operation of the USB-2401 is described here to assist in
configuration and programming of the module. Functions
described include A/D conversion, programmable function I/O,
and others
3.1
Functional Layout
The USB-2401 provides 4-channel 24-bit universal analog inputs
and supports seven input modes, including voltage input, current
input, thermocouple, RTD, full bridge, half bridge, and resistance
measurement. The four channels sample simultaneously, and
while each can be configured to a different input mode, all active
channels must be configured to the same sampling rate. In
addition, the USB-2401 also provides 6-channel programmable
digital I/O and can be configured to GPIO, GPTC, or PWM mode.

Floating Signal Source
Not connected in any way to the existing ground system.
Devices with isolated output are floating signal sources, such as
optical isolator outputs, transformer outputs, and thermocouples.
