Question

I have a shielded twisted pair terminating in a BNC fitting and a shield wire at the data acquisition system. The senor (geophone) is not grounded and thus the shield wire must terminate at the measurement end. Where should I connect the shield wire? My thought is the shield wire should connect to the chassis (but where?).

There is a chassis ground screw on the back of the chassis you can use.
