Single-Ended Measurements - Campbell CR300 Series Product Manual

measurement measures the high signal with reference to ground; the low signal is tied to
ground. A differential measurement measures the high signal with reference to the low signal.
Each configuration has a purpose, but the differential configuration is usually preferred.
In general, use the smallest input range that accommodates the full-scale output of the sensor.
This results in the best measurement accuracy and resolution (see
specifications (p. 243) for more information).
A set overhead reduces the chance of overrange. Overrange limits are available in the
specifications. The data logger indicates a measurement overrange by returning a NAN for the
measurement.
WARNING:
Sustained voltages in excess of -6 V or +9 V (SE1, SE2), ±17 V (SE3 to SE6) applied to terminals
configured for analog input will damage CR300 series circuitry.

18.1.1 Single-ended measurements

A single-ended measurement measures the difference in voltage between the terminal
configured for single-ended input and the reference ground. For example, single-ended channel
1 is comprised of terminals SE 1 and
