How to avoid a ground loop – It’s not only a problem with accelerometers
When using modern, high technology measurement devices one can often be tripped up by the simplest things. The most common is the ground loop. Time and again this issue rears…
Is it possible to connect the BNC outer to ground when using a P8000?
A question was recently posed regarding the grounding conditions of a BNC type input. The shield or outer of a BNC cable or connector is not connected to the chassis or ground. What would happen if it was connected to ground?
When should I use the ground connection on my P8000 data acquisition system?
The ground connection should be used if an issue has been observed in measured data, such as significant electricity supply (50Hz or 60Hz) distortion or significant noise. It must be attached…
What Is The Difference Between Single Ended & Differential Inputs?
Prosig data acquisition systems use differential inputs, but what are they and why are they so special? This subject is not always fully understood and, therefore, the focus of this…
