Using Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced Signal Sources
Figure 5-7 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to the
USB-6210/6211 device configured in DIFF mode.
Figure 5-7. Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced Signal Sources
With this type of connection, the NI-PGIA rejects both the common-mode
noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the signal
source and the device ground, shown as V
cm
in the figure.
AI+ and AI– must both remain within ±11 V of AI GND.
