Common-Mode Signal Rejection Considerations

Figures 3-4 and 3-6 show connections for signal sources that are already
referenced to some ground point with respect to the DAQCard-1200.
In these cases, the instrumentation amplifier can reject any voltage caused
by ground-potential differences between the signal source and the
DAQCard-1200. In addition, with differential input mode connections, the
instrumentation amplifier can reject common-mode noise pickup in the
leads connecting the signal sources to the DAQCard-1200.
The common-mode input range of the DAQCard-1200 instrumentation
amplifier is the magnitude of the greatest common-mode signal that can be
rejected.
The common-mode input range for the DAQCard-1200 depends on the size
of the differential input signal (V
instrumentation amplifier. In unipolar mode, the differential input range is
0 to 10 V. In bipolar mode, the differential input range is from –5 to +5 V.
