7.5.2 Single-Ended Measurement Reference

Low-level, single-ended voltage measurements are sensitive to ground potential
fluctuations. The grounding scheme in the CR1000 has been designed to eliminate
ground potential fluctuations due to changing return currents from 12V, SW-12,
5V, and C1C8 terminals. This is accomplished by utilizing separate signal
