Analog Inputs negative voltage

Hi,
I would like to know if the analog inputs accept a negative voltage (eg -400 mV to 400 mV).
This voltage is provided by a PH probe
thank you in advance for your answers
Sorry for my English

I don't thin that will work. The analog input pin is 0-5v only.
A potential work around is using the +5v and ground pin of an I/O channel to power a 2.5v regulator. Then connect the PH probe ground wire to the 2.5v voltage regulator output instead of the IO-204's ground. This way the IO-204 will measure the voltage range as 2.1v to 2.9v.
There are many 2.5v voltage regulators to choose from. Here is an example:
