Specify the input channel grounding mode
Description
GroundingMode can be Grounded or Floating. If GroundingMode is Grounded, the low side of the channel is grounded. If GroundingMode is Floating, the low side of the channel floats thereby making the input a differential input. GroundingMode can be set only for input channels. Source channels are never floating, and are always grounded.
If a smart break-out box is attached to the channel, then the grounding mode is automatically set to the appropriate value. If a dumb break-out box (or no break-out box) is attached to the channel, the grounding mode is given by the GroundingMode value. In this case, no hardware settings are changed and no errors are generated.
