12.4.5 Understanding the GN815 and GN816 input
The isolation of the GN815's and GN816's signal input channels are single-ended (also
termed unbalanced isolated or unbalanced differential isolated).
This means that one signal of both inputs within one channel pair is directly connected
to the isolated channel ground (this is the outer signal of the BNC plug). The other
signalisconnectedtotheconditioningamplier.
