Working Voltage Range

On most MIO X Series devices, the PGIA operates normally by amplifying
signals of interest while rejecting common-mode signals under the
following three conditions:
•
•
•
If any of these conditions are exceeded, the input voltage is clamped until
the fault condition is removed.

Analog Input Ground-Reference Settings

MIO X Series devices support the following analog input ground-reference
settings:
•
•
•
The AI ground-reference setting determines how you should connect your
AI signals to the MIO X Series device. Refer to the
Input Signals
Ground-reference settings are programmed on a per-channel basis. For
example, you might configure the device to scan 12 channels—four
differentially-configured channels and eight single-ended channels.
MIO X Series devices implement the different analog input
ground-reference settings by routing different signals to the NI-PGIA. The
NI-PGIA is a differential amplifier. That is, the NI-PGIA amplifies (or
attenuates) the difference in voltage between its two inputs. The NI-PGIA

Differential mode—In DIFF mode, the MIO X Series device
measures the difference in voltage between two AI signals.
Referenced single-ended mode—In RSE mode, the MIO X Series
device measures the voltage of an AI signal relative to AI GND.
Non-referenced single-ended mode—In NRSE mode, the MIO
X Series device measures the voltage of an AI signal relative to one of
the AI SENSE or AI SENSE 2 inputs.
