If single-ended signals are measured, one end of the signal source and one input terminal
should be connected to ground, as in the following diagram.

Connecting Current Output Sensors to Simultaneous Analog
Input
A large selection of current output sensors can be connected to the sbRIO-9687. For current
measurements, a current-sensing resistor converts input current into voltage. The burden
voltage of the resistor follows the same signal path as the voltage inputs.

If the sensor is powered, the sensor power supply ground should be connected to the ground
pin on the simultaneous AI connector. The common mode and differential input signal on the
burden resistor should stay within the limits listed in the
Simultaneous Sampled Analog Input
section of the
sbRIO-9687 Specifications
.
Current-Sensing Resistor
By default, the current-sensing resistor is not populated. The current-sensing resistor pads
accommodate a resistor footprint of 2512, with a maximum dissipated power of 1 W. For
lower power applications, the sbRIO-9687 includes a 1206 footprint (0.25 W) in parallel with
the current-sensing resistor.
