Signal Conditioning
Differential Mode
The differential mode has an output level of up to 0.5Vp-p. This mode provides
exceptional signal fidelity into true differential inputs (which provide common
mode rejection). A larger differential output voltage is also obtained without the use
of the amplifier. To preserve signal purity, the active amplifier cannot be used in
differential mode. Differential mode is not recommended when driving single-ended
loads since the second order distortion is degraded. If you choose to drive
single-ended loads, you must terminate the negative (-) port of the channel with a
50 ohm load.
Adjustable output voltage and offsets as well as reconstruction filters can be used in
differential mode
