Connecting Signal Sources to the NI USB-9229/9239
You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to the
NI USB-9229/9239. If you make a ground-referenced connection between
the signal source and the NI USB-9229/9239, make sure the voltage on
the AI+ and AI– connections are in the channel-to-earth safety voltage
range to ensure proper operation of the NI USB-9229/9239. Refer to the
Specifications section for more information about operating voltages and
overvoltage protection.
Figures 8 and 9 illustrate connecting grounded and floating signal sources
