Setup and Installation
Setting the Input Configuration
DAS-8/PGA(G2) and DAS-8/AO boards are shipped with the input
configuration for all channels set to single-ended. If this is not appropriate
for your application, you can reconfigure the input configuration on a
channel-by-channel basis using the input configuration switch block
(labeled S2).
Note:
The default input configuration in the DriverLINX configuration
file is also single-ended for all channels. Make sure that the switch
settings match the settings you establish in DriverLINX.
The input configuration switch block contains eight switches, labeled 1
through 8. Switch 1 corresponds to channel 0; switch 2 corresponds to
channel 1, and so on. The location of the input configuration switch block
on the DAS-8/PGA(G2) board is shown in Figure 3-3 and for the
DAS-8/AO is shown in Figure 3-4.
You place a switch in the ON position (single-ended) by sliding the
switch toward the top (numbered side) of the switch block. You place a
switch in the OFF position (differential) by sliding the switch toward the
bottom (unnumbered side) of the switch block.
Figure 3-6 illustrates the setting for channels 0, 5, and 7 configured as
single-ended (switches 1, 6, and 8 are in the ON position) and channels 1,
2, 3, 4, and 6 configured as differential (switches 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are in
the OFF position).

Notes:
Since DAS-8 and DAS-8/LT boards always use a single-ended
input configuration, they do not contain an input configuration switch
block.
