Hello koen0073,
You should only ground at one end of the shield to avoid ground loops. I am not an expert at grounding considerations, but this tutorial has loads of information about this. It argues that you should ground the shield at the signal source and provides useful references you may be interested in. If you ground to the signal conditioning board, all grounds are referenced to your DAQ device, so which ground you choose should not make a difference.
Hope this helps,
Laura
