Setting the Analog Input
The analog input is set by specifying the input mode and input range.
For the input mode setting function, see Chapter 4 “Functions”.
Setting the Input Mode
The input mode is the method of connecting analog input signals. The single-ended and differential
input modes are available.
The jumper settings for these modes are common to the AD12-16(PCI)E, AD12-16U(PCI)E
and AD16-16(PCI)E.
Use JP4 to JP6 to set the desired input mode.

CAUTION
Do not set the jumpers to any strapping pattern other than those specified above. Doing so can
result in a fault in the board.
Setting the Input Range
The input range indicates the range of voltages of analog input signals.
The board converts the voltages in the preset input range into digital signals according to the resolution.
The input range is common to all channels; it is not possible to set a different input range for each
channel. Figures 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 illustrates the jumper settings on each board.
Set the input range using both of jumpers and software.
