Analog input terminals (CH0 IN - CH7 IN)

You can connect up to eight analog input connections to the screw terminal containing pins 1 to 20 (
through .) Refer to the
CH7 IN
You can configure the analog input channels as eight single-ended channels or four differential channels. When
configured for differential mode, each analog input has 12-bit resolution. When configured for single-ended
mode, each analog input has 11-bit resolution, due to restrictions imposed by the A/D converter.
Single-ended configuration
When all of the analog input channels are configured for single-ended input mode, eight analog channels are
available. The input signal is referenced to signal ground (GND), and delivered through two wires:

The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CH# IN.

The second wire connects to AGND.
The input range for single-ended mode is ±10 V. No other ranges are supported in single-ended mode. Figure 5
illustrates a typical single-ended measurement connection.
