drives the ADC with this amplified voltage. The amount of amplification
(the gain), is determined by the analog input range, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2. MIO X Series Device NI-PGIA
Table 4-2 shows how signals are routed to the NI-PGIA on MIO X Series
devices.
For differential measurements, AI 0 and AI 8 are the positive and negative
inputs of differential analog input channel 0. For a complete list of signal
pairs that form differential input channels, refer to the I/O Connector Signal
Descriptions section of Chapter 3, Connector and LED Information.
Caution The maximum input voltages rating of AI signals with respect to ground (and for
signal pairs in differential mode with respect to each other) are listed in the specifications
document for your device. Exceeding the maximum input voltage of AI signals distorts the
measurement results. Exceeding the maximum input voltage rating also can damage the
device and the computer. NI is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal
connections.
