Figure 4-8. Single-Ended Input Connections for Ground-Referenced Signals
Figures 4-5 and 4-8 show connections for signal sources that are
already referenced to some ground point with respect to the
PCI E Series board. In these cases, the PGIA can reject any voltage
caused by ground potential differences between the signal source and
the board. In addition, with differential input connections, the PGIA can
reject common-mode noise pickup in the leads connecting the signal
sources to the board. The PGIA can reject common-mode signals as
long as V +

The PCI-MIO-16XE-50 has the additional restriction that (V +

At gains of 10 and 100, this is roughly equivalent to restricting the two
