Differential Connections for Ground-Referenced
Signal Sources
Figure 4-6 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal source to
an AT E Series board channel configured in DIFF input mode.
Figure 4-6. Differential Input Connections for Ground-Referenced Signals
With this type of connection, the PGIA rejects both the common-mode
noise in the signal and the ground potential difference between the
signal source and the AT E Series board ground, shown as V

in
Figure 4-6.
