Screw terminal 
– pins 21-40 
The screw terminals on the bottom edge of the (pins 21 to 40) provide the following connections: 
  16 digital I/O connections (
PortA0
 to 
Port A7
, and 
Port B0
 to 
Port B7
  One power connection (
PC+5 V
  Three ground connections (

Analog input terminals (CH0 IN - CH7 IN) 
You can connect up to eight analog input connections to the screw terminal containing pins 1 to 20 (
CH0
 
IN
 
through 
CH7
 
IN
.) Refer to the pinout diagrams above for the location of these pins.  
You can configure the analog input channels as eight single-ended channels or four differential channels. When 
configured for differential mode, each analog input has 12-bit resolution. When configured for single-ended 
mode, each analog input has 11-bit resolution, due to restrictions imposed by the A/D converter.  
Single-ended configuration 
When all of the analog input channels are configured for single-ended input mode, eight analog channels are 
available. The input signal is referenced to signal ground (GND), and delivered through two wires: 
  The wire carrying the signal to be measured connects to CHn IN.  
  The second wire connects to AGND.  
The input range for single-ended mode is ±10 V. No other ranges are supported in single-ended mode.
