Analog Input
The analog input section for the 611
X
E
board is software configurable.
You can select different analog input configurations through
application software. The following sections describe in detail each of
the analog input categories.
Input Mode
The 611
X
E board supports only differential inputs (DIFF). The DIFF
input configuration provides up to four channels on the PCI-6110E
board and up to two channels on the PCI-6111E board.
A channel configured in DIFF mode uses two analog channel input lines.
One line connects to the positive input of the board programmable gain
instrumentation amplifier (PGIA), and the other connects to the negative
input of the PGIA. For more information about DIFF input
