  • Page 20: Floating Grounded Signal Source

    Non-grounded reference single-ended input (NRSE) 3.3. Floating grounded signal source A floating grounded signal source is not connected in any way to the building ground system but, it has an isolated ground-reference point. Common floating grounded signal sources are transformers, thermocouples, battery equipment, optical isolators, and isolation amplifier output. An instrument or device with isolated output is a floating-ground signal source.
  • Page 21 Figure 3.2 differential input mode for direct connection However, for a floating signal source with large internal resistance, the above connection will lead to the imbalance of differential signal, and the common-mode noise will be coupled to the signal of AI+ while not to AI-, so that the common-mode noise will appear in the measured results. Therefore, for such a signal source, you can use a bias resistor approximately 100 times the internal resistance of the signal source to connect to AI- and AI-GND ports, as shown in Figure 3.3.

    The length of the cable connecting signals to the acquisition device is lower than 3 meters  If the signal does not meet the above conditions, it is recommended to use a differential mode connection to ensure better signal integrity. In single-ended mode, the electrostatic noise and electromagnetic noise of the coupled input signal connection are more than that in differential mode.
  • Page 24: Use A Non-Grounded Reference Single-Ended Mode (Nrse) Connection

    The cable connecting the signal to the acquisition device exceeds 3 meters  The input signal requires a separate reference location or a return signal  There is obvious noise in the environment of the signal wire  Differential connection mode can reduce noise interference and improve the common-mode suppression of the acquisition device.
