Differential Pair Measurement

I would like to make a differential pair measurement, that is between one node of a floating capacitor to VSS. How do I go about doing this? Thank you.

    Dear KenKim,

     I may not have understood your question, but it seems you just need to define an output as the difference in your floating terminal net and VSS. Have you tried that?

    What I meant was a differential voltage measurement between the cap node( node that touches the Gate and Drain of the FETs) and VSS.

    Thank you for the added information. It still seems all you need to do is define an output signal whose voltage is between your node "cap" and your node "VSS". Am I still overlooking your issue? I apologize if I am!
