-MIO-16E-2, AT-MIO-16E-10, AT-MIO-16DE-10,
AT-MIO-16XE-10, AT-AI-16XE-10, and AT-MIO-16XE-50
The AI signals are ACH<0..15>, AISENSE, and AIGND. The
ACH<0..15> signals are tied to the 16 analog input channels of the
AT E Series device. In single-ended mode, signals connected to
ACH<0..15> are routed to the positive input of the device PGIA.
In differential mode, signals connected to ACH<0..7> are routed to the
positive input of the PGIA, and signals connected to ACH<8..15> are
routed to the negative input of the PGIA.

AT-MIO-64E-3
The AI signals are ACH<0..63>, AISENSE, AISENSE2, and AIGND. The
ACH<0..63> signals are tied to the 64 AI channels of the AT-MIO-64E-3.
In single-ended mode, signals connected to ACH<0..63> are routed to the
positive input of the AT-MIO-64E-3 PGIA. In differential mode, signals
connected to ACH<0..7, 16..23, 32..39, 48..55> are routed to the positive
input of the PGIA, and signals connected to ACH<8..15, 24..31, 40..47,
56..63> are routed to the negative input of the PGIA.
Caution
Exceeding the differential and common-mode input ranges distorts the input
signals. Exceeding the maximum input voltage rating can damage the AT E Series device
and the PC. NI is
not
liable for any damage resulting from such signal connections. The
maximum input voltage ratings are listed in Tables 4-3 through 4-6 in the
Protection
column.
