Connections
To avoid errors caused by common mode voltages on analog inputs, follow the
recommended grounding guidelines in
below.
Figure 1-4. Recommended Ground Connections for Analog Inputs
Because all analog input channels in AI-201/202/207/208/225 layers are
isolated as a group, you can connect layer AGND to the ground of the signal
source and eliminate the resistors shown in
for floating differential
input signals.

Two resistors (10k <R< 100k) provide
return paths to ground for bias currents.
