In the EXT position, J1 pins 18 and 20 are connected to the ADS1256 reference input.
In the OBH position, the analog power supply is connected to the positive reference input, and the
negative reference input is connected to the output of the onboard reference.
In the OBL position, the onboard reference output is connected to the ADS1256 positive reference input
pin, and the negative reference input pin is grounded.
Both OBH and OBL provide a +2.5V reference to the ADS1256. The OBL position corresponds to the
standard method to connect a reference to the ADS1256, and should be used for most measurements.
The OBH position is useful for testing the reference input common-mode sensitivity, which can be
important for ratiometric connections.

As shown in Figure 5, switch S4 selects which of the two available clock sources on the ADS1256EVM
will be provided to the ADS1256. Table 7 summarizes the positions of the switch.
