1. Input signals are low level (less than 1 V).
2. Leads connecting the signals to the AT-MIO-16D are greater than 15 ft.
3. Any of the input signals requires a separate ground reference point or return signal.
4. The signal leads travel through noisy environments.
Differential signal connections reduce picked-up noise and increase common-mode signal and
noise rejection. They also allow input signals to float within the common-mode limits of the input
instrumentation amplifier.
Differential Connections for Grounded Signal Sources
Figure 2-27 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to an AT-MIO-16D board
configured for DIFF input. Configuration instructions are included under the Analog Input
Configuration section earlier in this chapter.
