Analog Input
The analog input section of each device is software configurable. The
following sections describe in detail each of the analog input settings.
Input Mode
The devices have three different input modes—nonreferenced single-ended
(NRSE), referenced single-ended (RSE), and differential (DIFF) input. The
single-ended input configurations provide up to 16 channels. The DIFF
input configuration provides up to eight channels. Input modes are
programmed on a per channel basis for multimode scanning. For example,
you can configure the circuitry to scan 12 channels—four DIFF channels
and eight RSE channels. Table 3-1 describes the three input configurations.
