M2, Voltage measurement

This module is the general voltage amplifier.
It is a differential voltage amplifier presenting its output voltage at the iso-amp-out of the slot it is located in. The input stage of the amplifier is formed by the gates of FET-opamps, there are no terminating resistors added. Input impedance is very high (>10Gohm) also in "ac-coupling". As a consequence the input will slowly drift away when not connected, resulting in a overload signal at the corresponding iso-amp-out. This causes no damage to the circuit but the LED draws battery-current. To prevent this, when not in use, a short-circuit connector (Lemo pin 2-3-4) can be placed on the input when not in use (or switch to "ac").

All functions including "coupling ac/dc" can safely be operated during a measurement as switching is done after the input stage.
