Input Channel Jumpers

Gain Jumpers

Each input channel has two gain stages. The first gain stage provides gains
of 1, 10, 50, and 100 and the second stage provides gains of 1, 2, 5, 10, and
20. Tables 2-3 and 2-4 show how to set up the gain for each channel.
The board is shipped to you with the first-stage gain set to 100 (position A)
and a second-stage gain set to 10 (position D). To change the gain of your
module, move the appropriate jumper on your module to the position
indicated in Table 2-4. Refer to Figure 2-2 for the jumper locations on your
module.
To determine the overall gain of a given channel use the following formula:
Overall gain = First-stage gain × second-stage gain
