Chapter 4 Signal Connections

National Instruments Corporation 4-15 VXI-MIO Series User Manual

Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced Signal Sources

Figure 4-4 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to

a channel on a VXI-MIO Series module configured in DIFF input

mode.

Figure 4-4.

Differential Input Connections for Ground-Referenced Signals

With this type of connection, the PGIA rejects both the common-mode

noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the

signal source and the VXI-MIO Series module ground, shown as V

cm

in Figure 4-4.
