Connecting Signals to the DAQPad-6020E BNC
Analog Input
You can use each analog input BNC connector for one differential signal or
two single-ended signals.
Differential Signals
To connect differential signals, determine the type of signal source you are
using: a floating signal source or a ground-referenced signal source. Refer
to the
Differential Connection Considerations
sections of Chapter 2,
, for more information.
To measure a floating signal source, move the switch to the FS position. To
measure a ground-referenced signal source, move the switch to the GS
