3.2.2 Channel Configuration, S/E or DIFF (SW2)

The PCI-1718 cards offer 16 single-ended or eight differential analog input channels. Slide switch SW2 changes the channels between single- ended or differential input. Slide the switch to the left-hand position, marked DIFF, for eight differential inputs (the default) or to the right- hand position, marked S/E, for 16 single-ended inputs.
