Connecting Reference Single-Ended Voltage Signals
To connect reference single-ended voltage signals (RSE) to the
NI USB-6008/6009, connect the positive voltage signal to the desired
AI terminal, and the ground signal to a GND terminal, as illustrated in
Figure 11.
When no signals are connected to the analog input terminal, the internal
resistor divider may cause the terminal to float to approximately 1.4 V
when the analog input terminal is configured as RSE. This behavior is
normal and does not affect the measurement when a signal is connected.
