Ground & Reference Configuration
Adpt-X3-M1P16
- Ground (G) and reference (R) signals are independent by default.
- To short them together at the adapter, solder a short wire between the G and R pads.
Adpt-X3-M1P16 v1.1
Proper grounding and referencing are essential for high-quality signal acquisition. Always ensure that both ground and reference signals are securely connected. If either is left floating, significant noise may be introduced into the recordings.
Configuring the Jumper Pad
① To connect the jumper, apply solder around JP1 until a solid solder bead forms.
② To disconnect, use a soldering iron and desoldering mesh to remove the solder bridging the jumper pad.
If the jumper pas has a default short configuration, use a scalpel or precision blade to cleanly sever the trace.
③ After modification, clean the area thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol or flux remover to eliminate any residual material.
④ Always verify connectivity using a multimeter to ensure proper configuration.
④ Always verify connectivity using a multimeter to ensure proper configuration.
