Hello

Q1)User manual is not so bed in my opinion. In CD you will have datasheets of AD converters with maximum allowable input voltages. But as I remember maximum input voltage for AD is plus and minus 1 V refered to ground.

Q2)You should have a schematic on mentioned CD. AD converters have differential inputs but special transformer is used to convert single-ended signal to differential input of AD. Inputs have common ground plane - I mean SMA connectors.

Best regards
