Measuring Ground-Referenced Signals
To measure ground-referenced signals, move the switches to either
the floating or ground-referenced source position. However, for best
performance, use the ground-referenced source position labeled GS to
avoid ground loops. Refer to your DAQ device documentation for more
information on measuring floating and ground-referenced signals.
The BNC-2115 connectors AI <16..55> correspond to the device
differential analog channels 16 to 55.
