Figure 3. External components 

USB connector 

The USB connector pr5 V power and communication. No external power supply is required. 

LEDs 

The USB-1608GX-2AO has two LEDs – 

Status

 and 

Activity

 

The 

Status

 LED turns on when the device is detected and installed on the computer. 

 

The 

Activity

 LED blinks when data is transferred, and is off otherwise. 

Figure 3 shows the location of each LED. 

Screw terminals 

The screw terminals provide the following connections: 

 

16 SE (

CH0

 to 

CH15

) or eight DIFF (

CH0H/CH0L

 to 

CH7H/CH7L

) analog inputs 

 

Eight digital I/O bits (

DIO0

 to 

DIO7

 

Two analog outputs (

AOUT0

AOUT1

 

One external clock input (

AICKI

) and one external clock output (

AICKO

) for analog inputs 

 

One external clock input (

AOCKI

) and one external clock output (

AOCKO

) for analog outputs 

 

One digital trigger input (

TRIG

 

Two counter inputs (

CTR0

CTR1

 

One timer output (

TMR

 

One power output (

+5V

 

Analog ground (

AGND

) and digital ground (

GND

) connections 

The single-ended mode pinout is shown in Figure 4, and the differential mode pinout is shown in Figure 5.
