Figure 1. Base address switches
In the default configuration shown in Figure 1, addresses 9 and 8 are DOWN, and all others are UP.
Address 9 = 200 hex (512 decimal) and address 8 = 100 hex (256 decimal); when added together they equal
300 hex (768 decimal).
Disregard the numbers printed on the switch
When setting the base address, refer to the numbers printed in white on the printed circuit board.

Input configuration
You can configure each analog channel for differential or single-ended input. You can set the input of each
channel using the bank of switches labeled S2 (0 through 7) on the board. These switches correspond to
channels 0 to 7 of the analog inputs.
The switches are set by default for differential input. Differential inputs are 3-wire analog hookups consisting
of a signal high, signal low and chassis ground. The benefits of differential inputs are the ability to reject noise
which affects both signal high and low, and the ability to compensate for ground loops or potentials between
signal low and chassis ground.
Although differential inputs are often preferable to single ended inputs, the floating nature of a differential
input can make getting an accurate reading difficult. In those cases, the CIO-DAS801 inputs can be converted
to single-ended or modified differential.
