Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced
Signal Sources
Figure 4-4 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to
a channel on a VXI-MIO Series module configured in DIFF input
mode.
Figure 4-4.
Differential Input Connections for Ground-Referenced Signals
With this type of connection, the PGIA rejects both the common-mode
noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the
signal source and the VXI-MIO Series module ground, shown as V
cm
in Figure 4-4.
