● Resistance / Capacitance from each terminal to ground is identical
● There is NO ISOLATION
● Used in some of the GEN DAQ acquisition cards
● OftenidentiedbytheuseoftwoMETALBNCconnectorsperchanne
● Can be used with matched pair of probes only
● Works with the same limitations as single probes, but is more tricky due to the
necessary balance between probes
● The probes used need compensation. The compensation range needs to match
