W hen the voltage difference between signal source and A/D board ground is large enough so the A/D board’s comm on m ode range is exceeded, isolated signal conditioning m ust be added.

4.2.6 Isolated Grounds / Single-Ended Inputs

Single-ended inputs can be used to monitor isolated inputs, though the use of the differential mode will increase your system’s noise immunity. The diagram below shows the recommended connections in this configuration.
