Common-Mode Signal Rejection Considerations

Figure 2-6 and Figure 2-9 show connections for signal sources that

are already referenced to some ground point with respect to the

NI7 83xR/784xR/785xR. In these cases, the instrumentation amplifier can

reject any voltage caused by ground potential differences between the

signal source and the device. With differential input connections, the

instrumentation amplifier can reject common-mode noise pickup in the

leads connecting the signal sources to the device. The instrumentation

amplifier can reject common-mode signals when V+in and V–in

(input signals) are both within their specified input ranges. Refer to

the NIR Series Intelligent DAQ Specifications, available at

ni.com/manuals, for more information about input ranges.

Analog Output

The bipolar output range of the NI 783xR/784xR/785xR AO channels is

fixed at ±10 V. Some applications require that the AO channels power on

to known voltage levels. To set the power-on levels, you can configure the

NI7 83xR/784xR/785xR to load and run a VI when the system powers on.

The VI can set the AO channels to the desired voltage levels. The VI

interprets data written to the DAC in two’s complement format. Table2-3

shows the ideal AO voltage generated for a given input code.

Note If your VI does not set the output value for an AO channel, then the AO channel

voltage output will be undefined.
