Due to the type of signal being monitored, input channel +CH1 is grounded. The command and
data for the SCPI command INP:RANG is received by the control (U1) and data (U4) buffers and
routed to the control FPGA (U3). The control FPGA converts the parallel data for the relay
drivers into a serial data stream. This data (RELAYDATA) is synched to the 10 MHz
(RELAYCLK) and written into the relay drivers when (RELAYENA*) goes low. The relay
drivers will energize relay K9 selecting a gain of 0.1 for the differential amplifier U17A.
