also shows that for this RTD configuration, the RTD is connected to REFN1, RTD_A, RTD_B, and
RTD_C. Additionally, jumpers JP5 and JP6 are connected whereas jumpers JP3 and JP4 are disconnected.
Finally, the AIN1 pin on the ADS1x48 is configured to be a current source and the measurement is taken
between AIN2 and AIN3.
