Preparing to Wire Signals

This section provides recommendations and information about wiring signals to a DT9837
Series module.

Wiring Recommendations

Keep the following recommendations in mind when wiring signals to a DT9837 Series
module:
• Follow standard ESD procedures when wiring signals to the module.
• Separate power and signal lines by using physically different wiring paths or conduits.
• To avoid noise, do not locate the module and cabling next to sources that produce high
electromagnetic fields, such as large electric motors, power lines, solenoids, and electric
arcs, unless the signals are enclosed in a mumetal shield.
• Prevent electrostatic discharge to the I/O while the module is operational.
• Connect all unused analog input channels to analog ground.

Wiring Signals to the Module

The DT9837 module contains five BNC connectors on one end of the module, and two BNC
connectors and a USB connector on the other end of the module as shown in
