Shielded Grounded Signal Source Connection Using a Terminal Block
Floating Signal Source Connection
Figures 2-2, 2-4, 2-6, and 2-8 illustrate floating signal source connections.
In this configuration, the signal source being measured is a floating signal
source, such as a battery. A floating signal source is not connected in
any way to the building ground system.
To connect a floating signal source connection to the NI PXI-4224, the
signal (
V
SIG
+) is connected to the NI PXI-4224 channel (AI
X
+). The
signal reference (
V
SIG
–) is connected to the channel reference (AI
X
–).
