Each bank possesses individual ground isolation. The direction (input or output) of each bank can be selected using DIP switches, and applies to all four channels of the bank. -Each channel supports 50\textOmega~terminations, individually controllable using DIP switches.

Cable shields may also radiate EMI from the isolated grounds. For low-noise applications, use non-isolated cards such as 2238 MCX-TTL or 2245 LVDS-TTL. % Switch to next column \vfill\break
