Using Differential Connections for
Ground-Referenced Signal Sources
Figure 4-10 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to the
MIO X Series device configured in differential mode.
Figure 4-10. Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced Signal Sources
With this type of connection, the NI-PGIA rejects both the common-mode
noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the signal
source and the device ground, shown as V
cm
in the figure.
AI+ and AI– must both remain within ±11 V of AI GND.
