output module connections

I am currently using a cRio with a NI 9476 with the D-sub connector kit, so the DAQ has wire terminal outputs. I have found that BNC cables work the best for signal generation, what is the best method of generation signals with wire terminal outputs. I know you cannot convert from wire terminal to coaxial but just looking for suggestions.

 

Thanks

I assume you prefer BNC cables because of their easy connectability and because they are shielded.  For bare wires you could use a twisted pair configuration or shield your wires.  You could also convert them to BNC if you like, as there certainly are BNC-Bare wire cables out there.

For the module I am using is one of the terminals the voltage signal and the other a floating groud, because if there is two voltages I can't convert to BNC?

That will all depend on what you are connecting...look at the pinout for the device.  If you want to run a common ground between your DUT and the 9476 you can.  If you are just running the wired around you are correct you cannot use BNC because they will all be carrying seperate voltage signals.
