Connecting a Split-Rail Power Supply

You can connect a split-rail power supply to the NI 9437. A 
split-rail power supply consists of a floating power supply that is 
weakly centered around earth ground using bias resistors.

Ground-Fault Protection

When using a floating or split-rail power supply, the NI 9437 can 
tolerate a single ground fault from V

SUP

-to-earth ground, 

COM-to-earth ground, or DI-to-earth ground. The NI 9437 can 

tolerate a single ground fault from V

SUP

-to-earth ground or 

COM-to-earth ground because of the isolation of the module. The NI 
9437 can tolerate a single ground fault from DI-to-earth ground
