Differential Connection Considerations (DIFF Input Mode)

In DIFF input mode, the NI 783xR/784xR/785xR measures the difference

between the positive and negative inputs. DIFF input mode is ideal for

measuring ground-referenced signals from other devices. When using

DIFF input mode, the input signal connects to the positive input of the

instrumentation amplifier and its reference signal, or return, connects to the

negative input of the instrumentation amplifier.

Use differential input connections for any channel that meets any of the

following conditions:

• The input signal is low level (less than 1 V).

• The leads connecting the signal to the NI 783xR/784xR/785xR are

greater than 3 m (10 ft).

• The input signal requires a separate ground-reference point or return

signal.

• The signal leads travel through noisy environments.

Differential signal connections reduce noise pickup and increase

common-mode noise rejection. Differential signal connections also

allowinput signal s to float within the common-mode limits of the

instrumentation amplifier.
