bank of channels from the other, effectively removing any parallel adjacent 
capacitance from the isolated bank. During a scan, the instrument automatically 
controls the bank switches. 
If you are not using all of the channels on the multiplexer, divide the input signals 
equally between Bank 1 and Bank 2. For example, if you are multiplexing eight 
channels using the 16-channel multiplexer, use four channels in the lower bank 
and four channels in the upper bank. For even better noise immunity, leave one 
unused, grounded channel between each input channel.
