Connecting Differential Analog Input Signals
Complete the following steps to measure a differential (DIFF) analog input
signal.
1.
Connect the BNC cable to one of the AI <0..7> BNC connectors on the
front panel.
Do not connect anything to the corresponding AI <8..15> BNC
connector below the AI <0..7> BNC connector you use.
2.
Move the corresponding SE/DIFF switch to the DIFF position. On the
BNC-2090A front panel, a line indicates which SE/DIFF switch
corresponds to each AI <0..7> BNC connector.
3.
Configure your software to measure this channel differentially.
Figure 3 shows how differential AI signals are routed to the DAQ device.
