Signal Connections This chapter provides useful informa- tion on how to connect input and output signals to the USB-4702 via the I/O connectors. Sections include: • Overview • I/O Connectors • Analog Input Connections • Analog Output Connections • Trigger Source Connections...
A good signal connection can avoid unnecessary and costly damage to your PC and other hardware devices. 3.2 I/O Connectors USB-4702 is equipped with one DB-37 connector that facilitates signal connections to the module. 3.2.1 Pin Assignments Warning: The two ground references AGND and DGND should be used separately for their designated purpose.
A signal source without a local ground is also called a “floating source”. It is fairly simple to connect a single-ended channel to a floating signal source. In this mode, USB-4702 provides a reference ground for external floating signal sources.
Low input. Figure 3.3 shows a differential channel connection between a grounded-reference signal source and an input channel on USB-4702. With this connection, the PGIA rejects a common-mode voltage V between the signal source and USB-4702 ground, shown as V in Figure 3.3.
Figure 3.3: Differential Input Channel Connection 3.4 Analog Output Connections (Voltage) USB-4702 provides two analog output channels, AO0 and AO1. Figure 3.4 shows how to make analog output connections on USB-4702. Figure 3.4: Analog Output Channel Connections Chapter 3...
