Figure 4-8 shows how to connect a grounded signal source to a channel
configured for NRSE mode.

Common-Mode Signal Rejection Considerations
Figures 4-5 and 4-8 show connections for signal sources that are already
referenced to some ground point with respect to the board. In these cases,
the PGIA can reject any voltage caused by ground potential differences
between the signal source and the board. In addition, with differential input
connections, the PGIA can reject common-mode noise pickup in the leads
connecting the signal sources to the board. The PGIA can reject
common-mode signals as long as V+
in
and V–
in
(input signals) are both
within ±11 V of AIGND.
