Connecting Signal Sources

You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to
the NI 9230.
If you make a ground-referenced connection between the signal
source and the NI 9230, make sure the voltage on the AI+ and the
AI- connections are in the channel-to-earth safety voltage range
to ensure proper operation of the NI 9230. Refer to the device
datasheet on ni.com/manuals
operating voltages and overvoltage protection.
