Chapter 4 Analog Input
Using Non-Referenced Single-Ended (NRSE) Connections for
Ground-Referenced Signal Sources
Figure 4-11 shows how to connect ground-reference signal sources in NRSE mode.
Figure 4-11. Single-Ended Connections for
Ground-Referenced Signal Sources (NRSE Configuration)
Note (NI USB-6341/6343/6346/6361/6363 BNC Devices) To measure a
ground-referenced signal source on X Series USB BNC devices, move the switch
under the BNC connector to the GS position.
AI <0..31> and AI SENSE must both remain within ±11 V of AI GND.
To measure a single-ended, ground-referenced signal source, you must use the NRSE
ground-reference setting. Use Table 4-4 to determine how to correctly connect your AI signal.
AI SENSE is internally connected to the negative input of the NI-PGIA. Therefore, the ground
point of the signal connects to the negative input of the NI-PGIA.
