Figure 2-6. Differential Input Connections for Ground-Referenced Signals
With this connection type, the instrumentation amplifier rejects both the
common-mode noise in the signal and the ground potential difference
between the signal source and the NI 7831R ground, shown as V
cm
in Figure 2-6. In addition, the instrumentation amplifier can reject
common-mode noise pickup in the leads connecting the signal sources to
the device. The instrumentation amplifier can reject common-mode signals
when V+
in
and V–
in
(input signals) are both within their specified input
ranges. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for more information about
input ranges.
Differential Connections for Nonreferenced or
Floating Signal Sources
Figure 2-7 shows how to connect a floating signal source to a channel on
the NI 7831R configured in DIFF input mode.
