analog (ACH0 through ACH7) BNC connectors are used. The remaining eight analog (ACH8 through
ACH15) BNC connectors are not used. The MIO-16 board must also be configured for differential
input. The jumper W1 position is irrelevant in DIFF mode.

Figure 2-7. Switch Configurations for Differential Mode or Single-Ended Mode
Note: All of the switches are required to be in the same position; that is, S1 through S4 and S6 through
S9 must all be in either the DIFF position or in the SE position.
The single-ended mode is configured by flipping the switches next to each pair of BNC connectors to
SE. This must be done to all eight switches in order to have 16 single-ended channels. In the single-
ended mode, all 16 BNC connectors are in use. In the single-ended mode, all 16 BNC cases are tied to
the COMMON signal. The COMMON signal can be switched between AIGND and AISENSE
through jumper W1. See Figure 2-8. AISENSE is tied to COMMON for NRSE mode configuration
and AIGND is tied to COMMON for RSE mode configuration.
