Connecting Analog Input Signals

The following sections discuss the types of signal sources, specify the use 
of single-ended and DIFF measurements, and provide recommendations 
for measuring both floating and ground-referenced signal sources.

Table 2-6 summarizes the recommended input configuration for both types 
of signal sources.
