Clarifying Single-Ended Measurement Modes

Status: New

I rarely have to set up hardware for a new analog measurement and always have to puzzle over the difference between RSE and NRSE modes. I think of the inverting input as the reference, so "Non-Referenced Single-Ended" doesn't make sense to me. And, if I run the AISense line to my remote sensor, isn't that a Referenced Single-Ended measurement?

 

Yesterday, I noticed that at least some on-line documentation now refers to GRSE (Ground Referenced Single-Ended); adding that single letter helps a lot. What about adding another single letter and referring to the other mode as RRSE (Remote Referenced Single-Ended)? One letter could save a lot of people a lot of time.
