Interface Protocol
The OMB-DAQ-2408 Series are multifunction DAQ devices designed for highly-accurate voltage or temperature measurements. Each device features up to 16 single ended (SE)/8 differential (DIFF)
analog inputs. Each device includes 8 digital I/O and two counter inputs. The OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO
also features two analog outputs. Each device in the series offers 24-bit resolution for ultra-accurate voltage or thermocouple measurements.
Analog Input
Each device includes 16 SE/8 DIFF analog inputs which you can configure for voltage or thermocouple input on a per-channel basis. Eight software-selectable voltage input ranges are provided. You can configure these ranges on a per-channel basis from ±10V to ±0.078V. When measuring thermocouples, configure analog inputs in DIFF mode. All devices also include open thermocouple detection to identify improperly working thermocouples.
Sample Rate
OMB-DAQ-2408 modules can sample analog input channels at up to 1 kS/s.
Digital I/O
Eight digital I/O channels are included with each OMB-DAQ-2408
and you can read from or write to each individual bit.
Counters
Two 32-bit counters are included with OMB-DAQ-2408 modules. The TTL level inputs
are capable of read/write rates of up to 500 Hz and an input frequency of up to 1 MHz.
Analog Output
(OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO Only)
The OMB-DAQ-2408-2AO includes two 16-bit analog outputs. Each output has a ±10V range.
Both outputs can be updated at a rate of up to 500 S/s per channel; one output can be updated
at a rate of 1 kS/s.
Software
The OMB-DAQ-2408 modules ship with an impressive array of software, including the new TracerDAQ®, a full-featured, out-of-the-box data logging, viewing, and analysis application. Driver support and detailed example programs are included for Universal Library programming libraries for Microsoft® Visual Studio® programming languages, and other languages, including DASYLab®, and ULx for NI LabVIEW® (comprehensive library of VIs and example programs compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit LabVIEW v8.5 through 2012) and InstaCalTM installation, calibration and test utility-powerful solutions for programmers and nonprogrammers alike. These modules operate under Microsoft Windows® XP (32-bit only) and VISTA/7/8 (32-bit and 64-bit) operating systems.

Meets our needs
We needed a DAQ with at least 4 channels, 24 bit resolution and better than 10 samples per second. This unit exceeds our need and works better than our previous DAQ from another vendor. The Pro version of the software is also better, and was worth the $200.

Like anything, knowing how to use it matters
Really a 3.5 star product, and I'm a firm critic of things.
For the average user of DAQ based control & metrology, this device is not user friendly. However, for operating as an I/O control point in an integrated system, it's good. Digital I/O serve as TTL 5V triggers, reasonably stable analog signals act as voltage references for measurement systems, and the temperature inputs are many in #. They can have some instability in thermal measurement (bummer!) and measurement frequency definitely matters when data logging (you need to run the InstaCal configuration utility to set this up). Your application dictates your needs, so go learn on how to setup things to measure well.
One of the downsides is, when connecting to any new PC it often requires you to go setup in InstaCal to establish a baseline configuration before you can use it. Also, the temperature readings are only useful to 0.1°C and nothing deeper.
Maybe not the most optimal I/O device out there for the $$, but certainly if you just need an API-ready instrument, this is a good place to start.

Too low sampling rate
The device is not able to reach above 350 Hz of sampling which is low for most scientific experiments.

Very difficult to use
I am trying to replace a Labjack T7 with the DAQ-2408 and find it nearly impossible to understand and use the Universal Library .dll with a Power Basic program. I have not been able to read a voltage or a thermocouple. The 4 different analog input library calls each give a different return value and there seems to be no way of telling which is correct. The reference files do not clearly give the data needed to initialize and startup the 2408. I have used the C, C#, and Visual Basic examples in trying to understand the units to put in a library call. For instance, cbVIn32(BoardNum,chan,Gain,Datavald,Options) has a term Gain. What the value should be I have not been able to locate in the documentation.
I have a lot of other comments, too many for this listing.
