The following illustrations describe some common differential mode connection methods of the BNC-08/16DI enclosure. These are just a few of the many possible connection methods made possible using the programmable signal conditioning circuits.

1.Diagram A. describes a true differential setup utilizing a pair of coaxial cables. The grounding of the coaxial cable’s shield at the enclosure end of the BNC cable is strictly an option.

2.Diagram B. describes a differential setup where the signal source and A/D board have isolated grounds. Resistor RSX has been provided for each pair of differential inputs to maintain a reference to ground. The grounding of the coaxial cable’s shield at the enclosure end of the BNC cable is strictly an option.

3.Diagram C. describes a method of making a differential measurement using a single coaxial cable.
