Configuring the PCI-QUAD04
Before installing the board, configure the channel input mode for either single-ended or differential. You set the
channel configuration with a set of jumper blocks on the board. Each jumper is labeled for its functionality. By
default, the board is shipped with the channels configured for single-ended operation, with no termination
resistors installed.
Channel input mode
To configure for single-ended operation, place a jumper between pin 2 and pin 3 (labeled SE ). To configure for
differential operation, place a jumper between pin 1 (labeled DIFF ) and pin 2. A single-ended configuration is
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Channel input mode configured for SE operation
Input mode jumper settings are listed in the table below.

Termination resistors
Although termination resistors typically are not required, SMT pads on the PCI-QUAD04 are open and labeled
to allow you to install terminating resistors from the various inputs to ground.
