Caution! If either the AC or DC voltage is greater than 5 volts, do not connect the PCI-DAS08 to this signal
source. You are beyond the board's usable input range and will need to either adjust your
grounding system or add special isolation signal conditioning to take useful measurements. A
ground offset voltage of more than 7 volts may damage the PCI-DAS08 board and possibly your
computer. An offset voltage much greater than 7 volts will damage your electronics, and may be
hazardous to your health.
