x series ground and shield wiring

[Dixie]

Hi all,

W

In our group we are discussing how to best avoid ground loops in our AO signals. We would like to use a PCIe-6363 X series device and I would be interested to learn exactly how the grounds are wired on the device. I found an old reference about the wiring of the grounds in M Series, E Series and S Seriesdevices:

Is the wiring for the X series devices the same? How are the grounds connected to the PC-ground, directly or via a resistor? What about the shielding of the cable?

Best regards,

Dixie

Unfortunately I can't help, but I imagine that you'd be more likely to get a response if you contacted NI directly. I've had some luck with the "Ask an engineer" link on the bottom right of the service page. Best of luck!

Hello Dixie,

I have just noticed that this forum post doesn't seem to have received a reply.

Can you let me know if this question is still active?

Thanks in advance!
