Analog inputs and outputs are sensitive to electrical noise interference.
Take care to shield them properly.
Guidelines:
Use 22-gage (or larger) twisted-pair cable, 100% shielded with drain
wire, such as Belden 8761 (or equivalent). For cable distances over
50 ft, use 18-gage cable such as Belden 8760 (or equivalent)
Ground the cable shield at one end only; generally at the sensor or
amplifier end, not at the I/O chassis (see Figure 2.4 and Figure 2.5)
