Explanation:
The single-ended (SE) input consist of one signal lead and one common ground. This configuration is sufficient for making measurements where no CMV (common mode voltage)exists. You'll find such situations most commonly when you connect to the output of an amplifier.

single-ended input

Explanation:
SINGLE-ENDED INPUTS - A single-ended input has no commond mode range because there is only ONE low wire, which is shared by all inputs. For example, if you have an A/D board with 16 single-ended inputs, there will be 16 HIGH (+) lines and one LOW (-) line (sometimes called LLGND). Some cards may have several LOW lines to provide extra places to make your ground connection, however, these lines are tied together and are basically the same thing.
