The following recommendations apply for all signal connections to your
device:
•
Separate device signal lines from high-current or high-voltage lines.
These lines can induce currents in or voltages on the device signal lines
if they run in parallel paths at a close distance. To reduce the magnetic
coupling between lines, separate them by a reasonable distance if they
run in parallel, or run the lines at right angles to each other.
•
Do not run signal lines through conduits that also contain power lines.
•
Protect signal lines from magnetic fields caused by electric motors,
welding equipment, breakers, or transformers by running them through
special metal conduits.

Consideration for Analog Signals, available from National Instruments.
