  • Page 6 The NI 9215E with BNC has four BNC connectors. Each channel of the NI 9215E has an AI+ terminal to which you can connect the positive voltage signal, and an AI– terminal or shield to which you can connect the negative voltage signal. The...
  • Page 7 NI 9215E. Connect the positive voltage signal to AI+ and the negative voltage signal to AI–. To connect grounded differential signals to the NI 9215E with screw terminal, you must also connect the signal reference to the COM terminal, as shown in Figure 4.
  • Page 8 Figure 5. If the voltage source is outside of the common-mode range, then the NI 9215E does not read data accurately. The NI 9215E with BNC has internal circuitry that keeps the voltage source within the common-mode range.
  • Page 9 Connecting Single-Ended Voltage Signals to the NI 9215E To connect single-ended voltage signals to the NI 9215E with screw terminal, you must also connect the ground signal to the COM terminal to keep the common-mode voltage in the specified range, as shown in Figure 6. For more information about the...
  • Page 10 NI 9215E Circuitry The NI 9215E channels share a common ground that is isolated from other modules in the system. The NI 9215E protects each channel from overvoltages. For more information about overvoltage protection, refer to the Specifications section. The incoming analog signal on each channel is buffered and conditioned by the instrumentation amplifier and is then sampled by a 16-bit ADC.
