*Differential measurement, resolution for single-ended measurement is twice value shown.

When measuring voltages with the 723
Analog Input Card, the ±1500 µV and
±5000 µV ranges read out in microvolts, the
rest of the ranges have the decimal point
placed to display millivolts. The 726 50V
Analog Input Card divides the input voltages
by 10 before making the measurements,
thus, to shift the decimal point so as to
display millivolts a factor of ten must be
used in the multiplier. Repetitions cannot
be used to advance from one 726 card to
the next.

When a voltage input exceeds the range
programmed, the value which is stored is
set to the maximum negative number
displayed as -99999 in high resolution or -
6999 in low resolution.

*** 1 SINGLE ENDED VOLTS ***

*** 2 DIFFERENTIAL VOLTS ***

FUNCTION
This Instruction reads the voltage difference
between the HI and LO inputs of a differential
channel in the selected range from the selected
card and channel(s) and places it in an input
location(s). Table 9-1 lists the range codes.
Both the high and low inputs must be within ±5V
of the datalogger's ground (Common Mode
Range Section 13.2). Pyranometers and
thermopile sensors require a jumper between
LO and Ground to keep them in Common Mode
Range.
