Figure 7 (page 11) of the USB-6009 manual shows a 127K resistor feeding a 39K voltage centering bias network prior to the Differential PGA. This significantly reduces the input signal voltage (good for 10V into a lower voltage ADC, but poor for low level inputs such as Thermocouple). While planning to reduce this input impedance by a factor of ~10 by paralleling a 14.0K resistor on the 127K (thus upping my input signal significantly), but leaving the 39K, I found another undocumented resistor at the analog input that appears to go to ground. What is the value and purpose of this other resistor?

Hello EENerd,
This looks to be the 4.7K resister that is going to ground. In order to get specifics of the functionality I urge you to create a service request.
