Figure A-6. FS/GS Switch
Figure A-7 shows the analog input circuitry on the USB-6212/6216
BNC. When the switch is set to the FS position, AI x – is grounded
through a 0.1 μF capacitor in parallel with a 5 kΩ resistor.

• Single-Ended Mode—For each BNC connector that you use for two
single-ended channels, set the source type switch to the GS position.
This setting disconnects the built-in ground reference resistor from the
negative terminal of the BNC connector, allowing the connector to be
used as a single-ended channel, as shown in Figure A-8.
