Isolation and Digital Isolators
NI 6232/6233 devices are isolated data acquisition devices. As shown in
Figure 9-1, the analog input, analog output, counters, and PFI/static DIO
circuitry are referenced to an isolated ground. The bus interface circuitry,
RTSI, digital routing, and clock generation are all referenced to a
non-isolated ground. Refer to Table 9-1 for an example of the symbols for
isolated ground and non-isolated ground.
