NI R Series User Manual

Analog Input
The NI PXIe-7858R provides connections for eight AI channels. Each channel has an AI+ pin,
AI- pin, and AIGND pin to which you can connect both single-ended or differential voltage
signals. Use the AISENSE pin to connect non-referenced single-ended signals.
Connecting Single-Ended Voltage Signals
To connect referenced single-ended voltage signals to the NI PXIe-7858R, you must connect
the voltage ground signal to AI GND in order to keep the common-mode voltage in the
specified range.
