The PC104-DAS16Jr/xx can be
configured for eight differential
or 16 single-ended inputs. Using
differential inputs allows up to 10
volts of common mode (ground
loop) rejection and can be more
noise immune.
The PC104-DAS16Jr/xx comes
from the factory with the select
switch set for 8 differential inputs
as shown in Figure 1-6. Set it for
the number of inputs you desire.
See Figure 1-1 or 1-2 for switch
location.
