Single-ended Mode
The single-ended mode has only one input relative to ground and it
suitable for connecting with the floating signal source. The floating source
means it does not have any connection to ground. Figure 3.4 shows the
single-ended connection. Note that when more than two floating sources
are connected, the sources must be with common ground.

Differential input mode
The differential input mode provides two inputs that respond to the
difference signal between them. If the signal source has one side
connected to local ground, the differential mode can be used for reducing
ground loop. Figure 3.5 shows the connection of the differential input
mode. However, even if the signal source is local grounded, the single-
ended still can be used when the Vcm (Common Mode Voltage) is very
small and the effect of ground loop can be negated.
