User Common Mode (U_CMMD)
To measure ground-referenced signal sources, which are connected to the 
same ground point, you can connect the signals in a User-Common-Mode 
(U_CMMD) configuration. Fig 7 illustrates the connections. The signal local 
ground reference is connected to the negative input of the instrumentation 
Amplifier, and the common-mode ground potential to signal ground. The 
instrumentation amplifier will now reject the 9116 series ground.
