I guess that my first question would be why you would want this capability? Different ground references within the same electrical circuit is a guarenteed way to introduce ground loops. I am not an EE (just an AeroEng - rocket scientist), but the better part of my career has been working in aerospace test facilities. The number one source of data quality problems comes from ground loops and improper grounding. Altering the ground reference path could lead to ground loops with potentials in excess of what the chassis (and IO cards) could withstand. While your application may require the capability for separate grounds, NI probably would not provide (document) the capability to separate the grounds to protect those users from inadvertantly setting a jumper that could d
estroy the DAQ system.
