N The following notes provide guidelines on how to achieve this Like WaveBooks notebook computers are rarely connected to AC power line ground This is true even when these devices are plugged into AC adapters Floating Grounds If the computer is battery operated and the signal source is floating such as an ungrounded sensor then the internal 5 MQ resistors may provide enough of a return path to ANALOG COMMON If either the computer or the analog signal source is committed to AC power line ground then you will require a direct connection between the signal source and ANALOG COMMON When in doubt connect the signal source common to ANALOG COMMON A single ended signal source needs to have its common connected to ANALOG COMMON When connecting several signal source commons to ANALOG COMMON it is important that there is no voltage potential between these signal source commons Otherwise ground currents will circulate leading to measurement errors If there is a fixed voltage potential between multiple signal source commons then only one of these signal source commons needs connected to ANALOG COMMON This is true as long as the common mode voltage of any input does not exceed 11 volts 4 12 WaveBook Operation Reference 897895 WaveBook 512A 516 516A 516E Digital I O Connections 16 Bit Mode For 16 bit mode the following signals are present on the WaveBook s DB25F high speed digital I O connector Note that 8 bit mo
