What's the difference between RSE and differential terminal configuration?

I'm seeing some "digital" (noise that is at a constant value offset from the stable signal value) noise when viewing 2 pressure signals through a NI USB 6008. I currently have the terminals configured to RSE, is that correct? The Transducers are 1-5VDC output analog.

This document will help you to choose the correct configuration. (RSE --> used for floating sources like batteries)

I use differential mode whenever possible.
Makes for a much cleaner signal in many cases
