REF
also shows that for this RTD configuration, the RTD is connected to REFP1, RTD_A, and RTD_B.
Additionally, jumpers JP3 and JP4 are connected whereas jumpers JP5 and JP6 are disconnected. Moreover,
the IEXC1 current source is enabled. Finally, this specific configuration requires two measurements for lead-
wire cancellation: the first is between AIN3 and AIN2, and the second is between AIN2 and AIN1.
summarizes the necessary connections and ADC configuration settings.
