Input Impedance
Figure 3-2 illustrates the input impedance of an NI PXI-4204 and its effect
on the measurement of a circuit under test. If you know the source
impedance of the circuit under test, you can correct for the attenuation
caused by the NI PXI-4204 in software. Since R
IN
is relatively large,
1 M
Ω
, it requires a large source impedance,
R
S
, to cause a significant
change in the measured voltage,
V
MEAS
. In general, a source impedance of
less than 200
Ω
does not interfere with the accuracy of the measurement.
For example, a 200
Ω
source impedance results in a 0.02% gain error.

Effect of Input Impedance on Signal Measurements
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio
The ability of a measurement device to reject voltages that are common to
both input terminals is referred to as the common-mode rejection ratio
(CMRR) and is usually stated in decibels at a given frequency or over a
given frequency band of interest. Common-mode signals can arise from a
variety of sources and can be induced through conductive or radiated
means. One of the most common sources of common-mode interference is
due to 50 or 60 Hz powerline noise.
The minimum NI PXI-4204 CMRR is 60 dB. This results in a reduction of
CMV by a factor of 1000. The measured signal source impedance can
reduce the NI PXI-4204 CMR. Specifically, if the signal source has an
imbalanced source impedance like the one in Figure 3-2, then an imbalance
is introduced into the NI PXI-4204 front-end. This imbalance causes a
reduction in the CMRR. The reduction in CMRR due to source impedance
