Differential Channel Connections

The differential input channels operate with two signal wires for each

channel, and the voltage difference between both signal wires is

measured. On the PCI-1710/1710L/1710HG/1710HGL/1716/1716L,

when all channels are configured to differential input, up to 8 analog

channels are available.

If one side of the signal source is connected to a local ground, the

signal source is ground-referenced. Therefore, the ground of the

signal source and the ground of the card will not be exactly of the

same voltage. The difference between the ground voltages forms a

common-mode voltage (V cm ).
