Input Mode Selection
Jumpers W2 through W9 select the input mode for each channel on the SC-2040. Position A-B
leaves the negative input of the instrumentation amplifier connected only to the front connector.
This is the factory-default setting. Position B-C connects the negative input of the
instrumentation amplifier to the board analog ground through a 100 k
Ω
resistor. This setting is
useful for keeping floating, or nonground-referenced, sources from saturating the instrumentation
amplifier. Table 2-8 shows the input mode jumper and channel selections.
