Daq Systems, the Modular Concept
Daq equipment and software form a modular, interrelated family of products that provide great flexibility in
data acquisition system design. This flexibility allows for the development of custom systems that are
unique to the user, and which can be optimized for his or her specific application needs. With the Daq
product line, system expansion or redesign can typically be accomplished with relative ease.
•
Primary Acquisition Device. This is the main data acquisition device, e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard,
or Daq PC-Card. These devices provide a vital data conversion and communications link between
the data source of transducers and signal conditioners and the data processor of the host computer.
Note the DaqBoards can be one of three types: (1) ISA, (2) PCI, or (3) compact PCI (cPCI).
•
DBK Option Cards and Modules. Over 35 DBK cards and modules (the number is constantly
growing) provide various types of signal conditioning and system expansion. Note that certain DBK
modules exist for the purpose of supplying power to other members of the acquisition system. The
DBK options are discussed in a DBK Basics document module and in the detailed DBK Option Cards
and User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905).
Note: Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, and
the DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with a Daq PC-Cards.
Reference Note:
DBK options are discussed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual
(p/n 457-0905). As a part of product support, this manual is automatically loaded onto
your hard drive during software installation. The default location is the Programs
directory, which can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.
•
Software. DaqView out-of-the-box software provides a graphical user interface with easy to read
spreadsheet formats for viewing channel data, as well as a choice of analog, digital, and bar-graph
meters. Waveform analysis can be performed, when applicable. A product support option, included
on the data acquisition CD, provides a means of performing post data analysis. More information is
included in the software-specific PDF documents that are installed on your hard-drive as a part of
product support.
In addition to the included out-of-the-box software, Daq products can be controlled via user-written
custom programs through Applications Program Interface (API). Several languages are supported,
e.g., C/C++, VisualBASIC, Delphi.
Reference Note:
Programming topics are covered in the Programmer’s User Manual (p/n 1008-0901).

Each type of Daq device connects to the computer in a different way:
•
The DaqBook is an external module that connects to a computer’s enhanced parallel port (EPP)
interface or PC-Card link.
•
The DaqBoard [ISA type] board is an internal card that plugs into an ISA-bus slot within a
computer.
•
DaqBoard/2000 Series Boards plug into a PCI-bus slot, within a host PC.
•
cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards plug into a cPCI-bus slot, within a host PC.
•
The Daq PC-Card slides into the PCMCIA slot of a host computer, typically a notebook PC.
Features common to the Daq products include:
•
100-kHz channel-to-channel scan and gain switching (10 µs);
200-kHz for DaqBoard/2000 Series and DaqBoard/2000c Series Boards.
•
512-location sequence memory that can be loaded with any combination of channels and gains.
•
Ability to access up to 256 different channels of DBK signals while maintaining the channel-tochannel scan rate. The DBK expansion options can accommodate mixed-signal inputs from
thermocouples and RTDs to isolated high-voltage inputs and strain gages.
•
Ability to handle 8 differential or 16 single-ended signal inputs without DBK expansion units.
•

Daq Systems
Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning
The DBK signal-conditioning cards and module are designed for use with DaqBooks, LogBooks, and
various types of data acquisition boards, i.e., ISA, PCI, and compact PCI (cPCI) types. The DBKs perform
best when used with an acquisition device that can dynamically select channel, gain, and range. DBK cards
and modules with dynamic channel and gain/range selection allow for high channel-to-channel scan rates
with a variety of transducers.
Note: Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, and the
DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with Daq PC-Cards.
DBK output signals can be bipolar, e.g., -5 to +5 V, or unipolar, e.g., 0 to 10 V. The user can select a range
of relevant values to correspond to the lowest signal (e.g., -5 or 0 V) and the highest signal (e.g., 5 or 10 V)
signal. This type of range selection guarantees the highest resolution in 12-bit or 16-bit conversion.
DBK modules share the same footprint as the DaqBook and a typical notebook PCs; allowing for
convenient stacking. The majority of these modules have their own power supply; however, several options
exist for packaging and powering the DBKs.
Reference Note:
DBK options are detailed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual
(p/n 457-0905). As a part of product support, this manual is automatically loaded onto your
hard drive during software installation. The default location is the Programs directory, which
can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.
Daq Software
The Daq devices have software options capable of handling most applications. Three types of software are
available:
• ready-to-use graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, DaqViewXL, and post acquisition data analysis
programs such as PostView, DIAdem, and eZ-View
• drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as DASYLab and LabView
• various language drivers to aid custom programming using API
Ready-to-use programs are convenient for fill-in-the-blank applications that do not require programming for
basic data acquisition and display:
•
DaqView is a Windows-based program for basic set-up and data acquisition. DaqView lets you
select desired channels, gains, transducer types (including thermocouples), and a host of other
parameters with a click of a PC’s mouse. DaqView lets you stream data to disk and display data
in numerical or graphical formats. PostView is a post-acquisition waveform-display program
within DaqView.
•
DaqViewXL allows you to interface directly with Microsoft Excel to enhance data handling and
display. Within Excel you have a full-featured Daq control panel and all the data display
capabilities of Excel.
•
Post acquisition data analysis programs, e.g., PostView, DIAdem, and eZ-View, typically allow
you to view and edit post-acquisition data.
•
The Daq Configuration control panel allows for interface configuration, testing, and
troubleshooting.
Each Daq system comes with an Application Programming Interface (API). API-language drivers include:
C/C++, Delphi, and Visual Basic. The latest software is a 32-bit version API.

Configuration and change the DaqBook configuration settings to those that work properly.
Test results have two components: Resource Tests and Performance Tests.
Resource Tests
Resource tests are intended to test system capability for the current device configuration.
These tests are pass/fail. Resource test failure may indicate a lack of resource availability
or a resource conflict.
•
Base Address Test – Tests the base address for the selected parallel port. Failure of
this test may indicate that the parallel port is not properly configured within the
system. See relevant operating system and computer manufacturer’s documentation
to correct the problem.
•
Interrupt Level Test – Tests the ability of the parallel port to generate interrupts.
Failure of this test may indicate that the parallel port may be currently unable to
generate the necessary hardware interrupt, while other parallel port devices may
work OK in this mode. Some parallel port devices (such as printers) do not require
interrupts to work properly. See relevant operating system and computer
manufacturer’s documentation to correct the problem.

DaqBook/100, /112, /120, /200, and /216
In General
DaqBooks consist of boards enclosed in a 8.5 × 11 × 1.375 inch metal chassis; with exception of the
DaqBook/260, which is 11 × 13 × 3.5 inches. DaqBooks attach to a host PC’s parallel port via a 25-wire
parallel port cable and can transfer data bi-directionally at up to 170 Kbytes/s for a standard printer port
(SPP) and up to 800 Kbytes/s for an enhanced parallel port (EPP). Data is stored in the PC’s memory and
hard drive, not in the DaqBook.
DaqBooks can be powered from a suitable AC-to-DC power adapter, a 12 V car battery, or a rechargeable
NICAD battery module. This power flexibility is ideal for portable and remote data acquisition, such as
automotive and aviation in-vehicle testing.
Output power from the DaqBook’s P1 connector includes: +5 VDC via pin 1, +15 VDC via pin 21, and
-15 VDC via pin 2.
Reference Notes:
The section, External Analog Expansion Power (JP1), explains how to set JP1, based on
power use in the system.
DaqBooks have capabilities which, at one time, could only be met by using several plug-in DAS boards.
All DaqBooks provide 16 analog inputs, and can be expanded up to 256. In addition, each model has 2
analog outputs, and at least 4 digital I/O channels. Some models have built-in expansion slots; other models
have additional digital I/O and counter/timer capabilities.
DaqBook Differences
While all DaqBook models are closely related, the following should be noted.
•
DaqBook/112 and DaqBook/216 provide 1 slot for an expansion DBK card.
•
DaqBook/100, DaqBook/120, and DaqBook/200 do not have an expansion slot, but do have
24 general-purpose digital I/O channels (expandable up to 192), 16 high-speed digital inputs,
and 5 frequency/pulse I/O channels.
•
DaqBook models /120, /200, and /260 have EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) capability.
•
DaqBook/260 has 3 expansion slots for DBK cards.
•
DaqBook/100, DaqBook/112, and DaqBook/120 are 12-bit.
•
DaqBook/200, DaqBook/216, and DaqBook/260 are 16-bit.

Performance Factors
DaqBooks are flexible when it comes to analog input capabilities. The A/D maximum sample rate is
100 kHz (divide by number of channels for scan rate) with a 16-channel multiplexer and a programmablegain input amplifier. Users can expand channel capacity to 256 analog inputs via expansion modules for
multiplexing RTDs, thermocouples, strain gages, anti-aliasing filters, and simultaneous sample and hold
amplifiers.
Expansion cards and modules attach to the DaqBook’s 37-pin P1 I/O connector.
Reference Note: Connector Pinouts begin on page 3-8.
The DaqBooks can perform 100 kHz scan sequences with programmable delays from 10 µs to 10 hours.
The 100 kHz conversion rate fixes the time skew between channels at 10 µs. The 512-location scan
sequencer allows selection of the input amplifier gain for each channel. DaqBook models /100, /120, /200,
and /260 can each scan 16 digital inputs in the same sequence used for analog inputs; such inputs are thus
time-correlated. Optional simultaneous-sample-and-hold (SSH) cards enable DaqBooks to instantaneously
sample up to 256 channels. Scanning and timing specifications are met, even when a DaqBook system
includes a full complement of expansion modules. All types of transducers are scanned within the same
scan group, and with no intervention from the host PC.
DaqBooks offer a wide selection of triggering capabilities. Scans can be triggered by software, a TTL
signal, or a level of analog input [including slope]. The analog input trigger is hardware-based and
minimizes trigger latency to less than 10 µs.

Jumpers
Proper installation requires that several jumpers and switches be set correctly for your application. These
jumpers and switches are located inside the DaqBook enclosure and possibly on your DBKs. Jumpers for
the various DaqBook models are configured similarly except for the jumpers’ relative locations. Silkscreening on the motherboard identifies jumpers and switches. Note: Even if using the default settings, you
should verify actual jumper positions.
The DaqBook configuration jumpers include:
• JP1 - External Analog Expansion Power; default is Analog Option Card Use
• JP2 - DAC Voltage Reference; default is DAC0 and DAC1 internal reference with SSH
• JP3 - Unipolar/Bipolar; default is bipolar (Note 1)
• JP4 - Differential/Single Ended; default is single ended (Note 1)
• JP5 - Time Base; default is 1 MHz
• JP6 - Watchdog Timer; default is Watch Dog timer disabled
• JP7 - Reserved for factory use.
Note 1: DaqBook/200, DaqBook /216, and DaqBook /260 do not have JP3 and JP4 jumpers.
For these products the related settings are made via software.
Location of DaqBook Jumpers
External Analog Expansion Power (JP1)
This 4×2 header (JP1) has 3 possible settings. If analog option cards (DBKs) are used, the JP1 pins are set
to provide +15 and -15 VDC to the cards. If such cards are not used, the counter/timer CTR0 is available,
and JP1 must be set accordingly. The default setting is for use of analog option cards.
&$87,21
If using a DBK32A Auxiliary Power Supply or a DBK33 Triple-Output Power Supply
Card, the JP1 shunt jumpers must be entirely removed. Placing the jumpers on
-OCTOUT and -OCLKIN will damage the 8254 timer chip.

this manual is automatically loaded onto your hard drive during software installation. The
default location is the Programs directory, which can be accessed through the Windows
Desktop.
DAC Reference Selection (JP2)
This 5×2 header (JP2) allows you to select internal or external voltage references for the two separate
analog outputs. If the internal -5 VDC reference is selected, either DAC can output from 0 to +5 VDC as
the register count varies from 0 to 4095 (12-bit). If an external voltage reference is desired (up to +10 VDC
or –10 VDC), the shunt jumpers must be set accordingly. There is also a provision to allow the outputting
of a simultaneous Sample-Hold command signal on the DAC1-REFIN pin with the DAC1 set up for an
internal reference.
&$87,21
The SSH setting cannot be used at the same time as a DAC1 external reference due to a
potentially damaging conflict on P1 pin #26. The defaults are both DAC0 and DAC1 set
to Internal Reference.
Note: The SSH setting is used with DBK2, DBK4, DBK5, DBK7, DBK17, DBK50, and DBK51.
Refer to the DBK options manual (p/n 457-0905) as needed.

daq200SetMode and daq200SetScan commands.
Single-ended or Differential Analog Input Channels (JP4)*
*Hardware Setting For DaqBook/100, /112, and /120 Only
&$87,21
JP4 must be positioned vertically. Positioning JP4 horizontally will damage the unit.
JP4 Single-Ended/Differential Settings
JP4 is a 3×2 header used to configure the 16 analog input lines as 16 single-ended channels or as 8 pairs of
differential channels. In general, if the DaqBook is going to be used in the stand-alone mode (no analog
expansion cards), either mode can be used. If analog expansion cards (each DBK capable of
sixteen single-ended or differential inputs) are used, the single-ended mode must be used. The default
setting is thus single-ended. Place the jumpers in the desired position (see previous figure).
Note: For the DaqBook/200, /216, and /260, the Unipolar/Bipolar option is selected via software by the
daq200SetMode and daq200SetScan commands.

Time Base Selection (JP5)
JP5 is a 2×3 header that allows you to apply 1 of 3 oscillatorderived frequencies to the 8254 timer chip. The frequencies are
100 kHz, 1 MHz, and 10 MHz. The default setting is 1 MHz.
Note: A special-version 8254 timer-chip is required for 10 MHz.
DaqView and most 3rd party software assume the 1 MHz
time base.
JP5 Time Base Settings
Watchdog Timer Enable/Disable (JP6)
This 3-pin header (JP6) allows the elective use of the watchdog timer. The
watchdog timer is used to assure consistent operation of the pass-through printer
port during data collection and to restore pass-through printing if the computer is
reset. Enable the watchdog timer if you:
• Use a printer on the pass-through printer port
• Expect the computer to be suddenly reset during DaqBook operation
• Want the DaqBook to reset itself rather than having to manually toggle the
DaqBook’s power switch.
Place the shunt jumper in the desired position as shown in the figure. The default
setting is Disabled.
JP6 Watchdog Timer
Settings
Note: The watchdog timer can mistake a computer pause for a reset and then impede background
measurements. For this reason, the watchdog timer should normally be disabled unless automatic
restoration of pass-through printing is required.
Connections
The DaqBook connects to the computer’s DB25F parallel printer port with a DB25M to DB25F 1284
Compliant LPT cable. 2-foot and 6-foot length cables of this type can be ordered through the factory. The
part numbers are CA-35-2 and CA-35-6, respectively.
Connect the male end to the computer and the female end to the DaqBook connector labeled FROM PC
PARALLEL PORT. Any printer port (LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3) may be used but should be noted for
software setup. When using a printer, attach the original printer cable (male DB25) into the DaqBook
connector labeled TO PARALLEL PRINTER.
Note: Printing cannot occur during data acquisition.
The DaqBook may be powered with a supplied AC adapter that plugs into any standard AC wall outlet. An
isolated VDC source of 1-2 amps may also be used. Power requirements are +7-20 VDC for the
DaqBook/100/112/120, +10-24 VDC for the DaqBook/216, and +9-18 VDC for the DaqBook/200/260.
Before plugging unit in, make sure the power switch is in the “0” (OFF) position.
•
If using an AC power adapter, plug it into an AC outlet and attach the low voltage end to the jack on
the DaqBook.
•
If using another VDC source, make sure leads are connected to the proper DIN terminals.

DaqBook Connections
To verify connections, turn ON the power switch by flipping the rocker- switch to the “1” position, and the
POWER LED should light up. If using a printer, check operation by issuing a <PRINT SCREEN> or
equivalent command.
Note: Software installation is necessary before the DaqBook can perform any functions.
Parallel Port Capabilities
The DaqBook/112, /120, /200, /216, and /260 (but not the /100) models can take advantage of enhanced
parallel port (EPP) communication. Standard LPT ports on an IBM-compatible PC have 4-bit and 8-bit
modes to read data from the printer port. The 8-bit mode is faster than the 4-bit, but not all printer ports
support this mode. EPP ports are parallel ports with additional hardware that allows the DaqBook to
communicate with the PC faster (3 to 10 times) than standard parallel ports.
EPPs require special hardware, and only certain computers are EPP-capable. Most laptop computers that
use the Intel 386SL or 486SL chip set (which includes the 82360 I/O controller) are EPP-capable. For
computers with plug-in card slots, EPP adapter cards are available. You may wish to consult your computer
documentation for details about your machine and possible adapter cards. For more information about
supported EPP hardware and machine-specific issues, refer to the README file supplied with the software.
Note: The EPPs may be configured for any available I/O address but must be configured for either
interrupt 5 or 7. The DaqBook driver does not support the use of interrupts 10, 11, 12, or 15.
In addition to supporting the special hardware required for EPP capability, some computers and parallel
port cards come equipped with special BIOS or device drivers which support the EPP BIOS Draft Revision
3 (and possible Draft Revision 5) standard. This standard specifies a software level interface between
applications and the EPP hardware itself. The DaqBook/DaqBoard software driver supports computers and
parallel ports equipped with EPP BIOS Draft Revision 3.
Connector Pinouts
To gain access to DaqBook port connectors, signals can be connected via a CA-37-x cable through a
D-shell 37-pin female connector or a DBK11 screw-terminal card with component sockets.
The following tables detail P1, P2, and P3 pinouts and how each line is used.

Note: Software configuration commands determine P1 digital I/O pin functions. Actual shunt-jumper placement is required to provide
±15 VDC to expansion cards or disconnect internal DAC references to allow externally selected DAC references. Digital I/O cannot
be used with DBKs. “/” indicates the pin can be used for either function but not both at the same time.
Note 1: Refer to the Power Management section in the DBK options manual (p/n 457-0905).

5 – Determine power requirements
Depending on the power needs of your system’s DBK cards, you may need to add a power card.
Reference Note:
Both the DBK Basics section of this manual and the Power Management section of the DBK Option Cards and
Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905) contain power-related information. As a part of product support, the
DBK manual is automatically loaded onto your hard drive during software installation. The default location is the
Programs directory, which can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.
A. Use the DBK Power Requirements Worktable to calculate the power requirements of your system’s DBK
cards.
B. Use the Available Power Chart to determine your system’s power availability.
C. If the required power in step 5A is more than the available power in step 5B, you need an additional power
card. There are two auxiliary power supply cards:
• DBK32A – For use with a LogBook, DaqBook, or DaqBoard. It supplies ±15 V.
• DBK33 – For use with a Log Book, DaqBook, DaqBoard, or Daq PC-Card. It supplies +5 V and ±15 V.
Reference Note:
Refer to the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905) as needed. As a part of product
support, the DBK manual is automatically loaded onto your hard drive during software installation. The default
location is the Programs directory, which can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.

DaqBook User’s Manual
6 – Configure chassis for power sources
Avoid having more than one power source on the P1 bus. +5 V is controlled by the JP1 and JP2 on the P1
interconnect board. ±15 V is controlled by the JP1 on the DaqBook/200 acquisition processor board.
A. JP2 on interconnect board – If +5 V will be supplied to DBK cards outside the chassis, install the JP2 jumper
on the P1 interconnect board (see previous figure).
B. JP1 on interconnect board – If +5 V will be supplied to DBK cards inside the chassis, install the JP1 jumper
on the P1 interconnect board (see previous figure).
C. JP1 on acquisition processor board – If using a DBK32A or DBK33 power card anywhere in the system,
remove the +15 V/-15 V jumpers from JP1 on the DaqBook/200 acquisition processor board. Refer to
Hardware Setup in the DBK32A or DBK33 section of the DBK options manual.
7 – Install a power card, if necessary
If you determined in step 5 that additional power is needed, add a DBK32A or DBK33 power card to the
chassis.
A. Carefully align the power card’s DB37 connector with a DB37 connector on the interconnect board and
gently press them together.
B. Mount the power card with two screws into the standoffs on the card drawer.
8 – Configure DaqBook/260
If a DaqBook/260 driver is not available in software, select DaqBook/200.
9 – Configure DBK cards
Configure unique channel addresses with the jumpers on the DBK cards. Some cards have other jumpers and/or
DIP switches. Refer to the DBK options manual (p/n 457-0905) as needed.
10 – Install DBK cards
You must use all analog DBK cards in the DaqBook/260; or all digital DBK cards providing that a
factory modification is made to do so. At no time can you mix analog and digital cards in a
DaqBook/260.
A. Carefully align the DBK card’s DB37 connector with a DB37 connector on the interconnect board and gently
press them together (see previous figure).
B. Mount the DBK card with two screws into the standoffs on the card drawer.
C. Continue installation of any remaining DBK cards.
11 – Connect internal signals
Connect signal inputs from DBK cards to termination panels. DBK cards connect to the termination panels in
various ways (see the following figure). Refer to the DBK options manual (p/n 457-0905) as needed.
• Single-ended connections use analog common.
• Differential connections require the proper polarity, typically red-to-red for high (+) and
black-to-black for low (-).
• For thermocouples, red is generally the low side, and the T/C connector and wire type must match the
thermocouple type used.

Stacking Hardware
Using Dual-Lock Tabs and Splice Plates
For systems that make use of several data acquisition modules, stacking units together conserves space and
simplifies cable runs. Such stacking can be facilitated with dual-lock tabs or splice palates.
• Dual-lock tabs. Dual-lock tabs, often referred to as Velcro,® provide a means of temporarily
stacking modules together. The tabs provide a convenient way to quickly add modules to [or remove
modules from] a system. Dual-lock tabs are often used to attach a notebook PC to a module.
• Splice Plate Kits. Optional Splice Plate Kits are available through the factory. The kits include metal
plates that screw into the sides of modules to form a vertical rack of two or more modules. This
method allows the “enclosure” to size itself as needed rather than wasting space in a 1-size-fits-all type
of enclosure. A handle can be attached to the plate for convenience in portable applications.
Note that even when splice plates are used, dual-lock tabs are typically used to attach a notebook PC
to the top-level acquisition module.

Using T-Cables
&$87,21
Turn power OFF to the Daq devices and externally connected equipment while
connecting cables and setting configuration jumpers and switches or before opening
the lid. Electrical shock or damage to equipment can result even under low-voltage
conditions.
T-Cables are available in different lengths and can be used for linking two or more compatible devices
together via the device’s 37-pin digital I/O connectors.
The bottom-end of the T-Cable is a dual-connector, consisting of both a female connector, and a 37-pin
(male) connector. As seen in the following illustration, the T-Cable’s 37-pin (male) connector can be used
for “Daisy-Chain” applications.
Each T-Cable comes with three sets of screws. These are designated (in the diagram) as: short, medium, and
long. Use the short screws to secure the single, female-end of the cable to the device; and use the medium
length screws to secure a cable’s “dual-end” connector. Use the long screws for daisy-chain applications
(when you are connecting one T-Cable to another T-Cable).
Tighten screws snug only; do not over-tighten!

Turn off power to all devices connected to the system before connecting cables or
setting configuration jumpers and switches. Electrical shock or damage to
equipment can result even under low-voltage conditions.
&$87,21
The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components.
Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage. You should
always handle components carefully, and you should never touch connector pins or
circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an appropriate ESD
controlled area. Such guidelines include the use of properly grounded mats and
wrist straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.
Introduction
The term “DBK” typically refers to a card or module that is used to expand or enhance a primary data
acquisition device, such as a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook. As will be seen in the upcoming DBK
identification tables, DBKs provide a wide variety of data acquisition functions. Depending on the DBKs
used, one or more of the following can be realized:
• signal conditioning
• analog output
• digital I/O
• channel expansion
• supplying powering to another acquisition device
• providing an interface for different connectivity; for example, in a DaqBoard/2000 Series board,
converting a P4, 100-pin connector to P1, P2, and P3 37-pin, DB37 connectors.

the PDF documentation, especially the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual
(p/n 457-0905) for details regarding both hardware and software in relevant to DBKs.
A copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader® is included on your CD. The Acrobat Reader

How Do DBKs Connect to the Data Acquisition Device?
Each DBK connects to the primary data acquisition device; e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook,
through one of three 37-pin ports, which are designated as follows:
•
•
•
P1 – Analog I/O
P2 – Digital I/O
P3 – Pulse/Frequency/High-Speed Digital I/O
Depending on the primary data acquisition device, connectivity issues differ slightly. This will be made
clear by the figures and accompanying text that follow.
Connecting DBKs to DaqBooks, ISA-Type DaqBoards, and LogBooks
For DaqBooks, ISA-Type DaqBoards, and LogBooks, DBK connections are not made directly to the port,
but through a CA-37-x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the number of expansion devices that can be
connected. For example, in addition to providing a DB37 connector to interface with the primary data
acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of
adding three DBKs to one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added. The
CA-37-x cable system is excellent for DaqBooks, LogBooks, and ISA-type DaqBoards.
Connecting DBKs to a DaqBook
The above figure applies to LogBooks, DaqBooks, and ISA-type DaqBoards. As will be seen elsewhere in
the documentation, some models do not include all three connectors (P1, P2, and P3).

Daq Systems
Connecting DBKs to Daq PC-Cards
The Daq PC-Card is only intended for connections to a P1 connector of a single “passive” DBK card or
module. A passive DBK card or module is one that provides a desired connectivity (such as BNCs or screw
terminals), but performs no signal conditioning.
A CA-134 Interface Cable and a CN-86-F (dual DB37 female adapter) are used to provide the DB37,
P1 connector.
Daq PC-Card Cabling
The CA-134 cable connects to a CN-86-F adapter, which then connects to a single “passive” card or
module. The passive DBKs are:

DBK11A – Screw Terminal Option Card
DBK40 – BNC Analog Interface
Reference Note:
For information regarding the passive DBKs (DBK1, DBK11A, and DBK40), refer to the
DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905) for details regarding
both hardware and software in relevant to DBKs.

Connecting DBKs to DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series Boards
DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000 Series boards have 100-pin connectors designated as P4.
The 100 pins correlate to various pins on P1, P2, and P3 DB37 connectors.* Connectivity in the system is
as follows (see figure).
•
Both the DaqBoard/2000 and /2000c Series board connect to a CA-195 cable.
The cable has two, 100-pin, P4 connectors.
•
The CA-195 connects to a DBK200 Series adapter board or adapter module for 100-pin to
37-pin adaptations, e.g., P4-to-P1, P2, P3; but not necessarily all three.*
•
The DBK200 Series adapter connects to a CA-37-x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the
number of expansion devices that can be connected. For example, in addition to providing a
DB37 connector to interface with the primary data acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable
includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of adding three DBKs to
one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added.
•
The CA-37-x cable connects to expansion DBKs, in accordance with port type. For example,
Analog DBKs to port P1, Digital DBKs to port 2, and passive DBKs to port 3.
Connecting DBKs to a DaqBoard/2000 Series Board
* DaqBoard/2003 and cPCI DaqBoard/2003c are exceptions to the above connectivity method. The /2003
board typically connects directly to a DBK205 (P4-to-Screw Terminal Adapter), as discussed in the
DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905).

Analog Signal Conditioning DBKs
The DBKs that are used for analog signal conditioning attach to transducers and condition their outputs into
analog voltages. An A/D converter, located in the primary acquisition device, measures the analog
voltages. There are many signal-conditioning solutions available (and more are in development). Note that
DBK high-capacity modules require more circuitry than can fit on a compact card.

Power Supply DBKs
Power supply type DBKs are typically used in laboratory, automotive, and field applications. Input power
can come from any +10 to +20 VDC source, or from an AC source by using an appropriately rated AC-toDC adapter. The DBK30A rechargeable power supply can power DBK modules where AC mains are not
available (the DBK30A outputs 28 V for powering transducers). For a large number of DBK cards, the
DBK32A or DBK33 can be installed into an expansion slot. The DBK33 is used when +5 V is required in
addition to ±15 VDC. The DBK34 provides a steady 12 or 24 VDC while working with vehicle electrical
systems that may be turned on or off during testing.

Tips on Setting up a Data Acquisition System
A successful installation involves setting up equipment and setting software parameters. In addition to this
manual, you may need to consult your Daq device or LogBook user’s manual.
DBKs should be configured before connections are made and power is applied. This sequence can prevent
equipment damage and will help ensure proper operation on startup. Many DBKs have on-board jumpers
and/or DIP switches that are used for setting channels and other variables. You will need to refer to the
individual DBK document modules to ensure that the DBKs are properly configured for you application.
Prior to designing or setting up a custom data acquisition system, you should review the following tips.
After reviewing the material you can write out the steps to setup a system that will best meet your specific
application needs.
1.
The end use of the acquisition data should be used to determine how you set up and program your
acquisition system. Prior to creating the system you should understand its layout and know how you
are going to assign the channels. If you can answer the following questions you are off to a good start.
If not, you need to find the answers.
•
•
•
•
•
Daq Systems
What engineering units, ranges, sampling rates, etc. are best for your data?
Will the data be charted graphically, statistically processed, or exported to other programs?
How will the data be used?
How will the data be saved?
What are your system’ power requirements? Using several DBKs or transducers that
require excitation current may require an extra power supply, e.g., a DBK32A.
2.
Assign channel numbers.
3.
Plan the location of transducers, cable runs, DBKs, the acquisition device [LogBook or Daq device],
and the computer. Label your transducers, cables, and connectors to prevent later confusion.
4.
When configuring your LogBook or Daq device(s) consider the following:
•
LogBook calibration is typically performed automatically through LogView software;
however, some DBKs may require manual calibration.
•
The DaqBook and DaqBoard (ISA type) have internal jumpers and switches that you
must set manually to match your application.
•
Some DaqBook models are partially configured in software.
•
Daq PC-Cards are configured entirely in software.
•
DaqBoard/2000 Series boards are PCI type boards. They have no jumpers or switches and
are configured entirely through software.
•
cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards are compact PCI (cPCI) type boards. They have no
jumpers or switches and are configured entirely through software.
•
You may need to refer to other documentation, such as Quick Starts, Installation Guides,
User’s Manuals, and pertinent DBK document modules.
5.
Perform all hardware configurations before connecting signal and power. Remember to configure all
the DBK cards and modules for your application. Several jumpers and DIP switches may need to be
set (channel, gain, filters, signal mode, etc).
6.
Setting up channel parameters often requires both hardware and software setup.
7.
Route and connect all signal and power cables while all power is turned OFF.
8.
To minimize electrical noise, route all signal lines away from any RF or high-voltage devices.
9.
Follow your device’s specific installation instructions. For certain devices software should be installed
first; for others, hardware should be installed prior to software installation.
02-13-02
DBK Basics, pg. 7
10. After software is loaded, remember to set the software parameters as needed for your
application. The software must recognize all the hardware in the system. Measurement units
and ranges should be checked to verify that they meet your application requirements.
11. Remember to set all channels to the proper mode for your DBK or other signal source.
12. After your system is up and running, verify proper data acquisition and data storage.
13. Verify system accuracy; adjust ranges or calibrate as needed.
14. Device specific information regarding system setup and expansion can be found in the Daq and
LogBook User’s manuals; and in the applicable DBK document modules of this manual.
15. If you are considering system expansion, review the DBK10, DBK41, and DBK60 document
modules. The best option depends on the number of DBK cards in your system. For just a few cards,
use the stackable 3-slot DBK10 low-profile expansion enclosure. For more than six cards, use the 10slot DBK41. DBK41s can be daisy-chained to one-another to handle a large number of DBKs.
16. In regard to power management, you should review the DBK30A, DBK32A, and DBK33 document
modules. For portable applications, the compact DBK30A rechargeable power supply can provide
power to the DBK10 or DBK41. The DBK30A also includes a 28 V output for powering 4 to 20 mA
transducers. For applications with many DBK cards (initially or in future expansion), the DBK32A or
DBK33 can be installed into any expansion slot. The DBK32A provides ±15 VDC and the DBK33
provides ±15 VDC and +5 VDC.
Power Supplies and Connectors
Power supplies convert the raw power they receive into a lower DC voltage and/or current for use by
devices with various power demands. Many of the power supplies that are used to power data acquisition
equipment are of the switching-mode type. These devices provide a regulated output whether the power
supply’s input is, for example, 60 Hz, 120 VAC as in the United States or, 50 Hz, 220 VAC as found in
European countries. Small power supplies, that do not switch, consist of simple transformer/rectifiers and
filtered capacitors; and operate over a smaller voltage range.
LogBooks - The switching-mode power supply commonly used with LogBook systems uses an input
range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply’s output [to the LogBook] is
15 VDC @ 2.7 amps via a DIN5 connector.
DaqBooks - Power supplies that are used with DaqBooks are typically of the transformer/rectifier type.
They supply the DaqBook with 15 VDC @ 900 mA via a DIN5 connector.
DBKs – The following table indicates the type of power supply that is typically used with certain DBKs.

standpoint of providing reliable power, these DBKs have proven convenient in laboratory, automotive, and
field applications.
Input power for these devices can come from any 10 to 20 VDC source, or from an AC source via an
appropriate AC-to-DC adapter.
A brief synopsis of the DBK power options follows. Refer to the respective document modules for

DBK30A module - provides power at 14 and 28 VDC with a rated capacity of 3.4 A-hr @ 14 VDC.
The DBK30A’s 28 V output will power 4 to 20 mA transducers. The module’s rechargeable power supply can power
DBK modules in situations where AC mains are not available.
Note:
Some transducers (e.g., 2-wire 4-20 mA transmitters, bridge-configured sensors, etc) require an
excitation voltage in order to work properly. The DBK30A supplies 14 and 28 VDC. Consult
transducer documentation before applying power.
DBK32A - provides ±15 VDC @ 500 mA.
DBK33 - provides ±15 VDC @ 250 mA and +5 VDC @ 1000 mA.
The DBK32A and DBK33 power cards attach directly to the P1 analog expansion bus where they supply power
to DBK analog expansion cards. The DBK32A and the DBK33 can be powered from an included AC adapter,
an optional DBK30A battery module, or from a +10 to +20 VDC source such as a car battery.
When installed in a DBK10 three-slot expansion chassis, the DBK32A or DBK33 supplies power to
the analog DBK [that is to receive power] via a CA-37-x cable.
If used with the DBK41 ten-slot expansion enclosure, the DBK32A or DBK33 installs into one of the analog
expansion slots on the DBK41’s backplane. A power card in any DBK41slot (other than the leftmost, when
viewed from the rear) will power the other cards that are connected to the DBK41’s backplane.

If using a DBK32A or a DBK33 with a DaqBook or DaqBoard [ISA type], you must
entirely remove the shunt jumpers from JP1. Failure to do so will result in damage to the
8254 timer chip. Refer to the power card document modules and to the Daq device
Hardware sections of the DaqBook and DaqBoard [ISA] user’s manuals for JP1 location
and configuration.
DBK34 module – provides 12 or 24 VDC with a 5.0 or 2.5 A-hr capacity (respectively). This module is an
Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that can be used for in-vehicle testing where the vehicle’s electrical
system will not affect acquisition device power during starter-current surge, or power-off.
DBK34A module – provides 12 or 24 VDC with a 5.0 or 2.5 A-hr capacity (respectively). This device is
classified as a UPS / Battery module. It is an improved version of the earlier DBK34. Like the DBK34, the
DBK34A can be used for in-vehicle testing where the vehicle’s electrical system will not affect acquisition
device power during power during starter-current surge, or power-off.

Calculating Your System’s Power Needs
Use the chart below and the worktable on the next page to ensure your system will have sufficient power.
If the load (calculated in the worktable) exceeds available power (from the chart at the right), you must
add a power card or a module such as a DBK32A or DBK33.

Use the following procedure and table to calculate the required system power.
1.
In the Quantity column (5th), list the number of DBKs of that type in your system.
2.
In the Sub Total column (7th), enter the product of column 5 and column 6 (mW).
3.
Add the Sub Total column, and enter the sum at the bottom right of the table.
This result is your power requirement in mW.
DBK32, DBK32A, and DBK34 cannot supply +5 VDC.
In cases that require +5 VDC, if the +5 VDC requirement exceeds 500 mW from a
LogBook or Daq device, then a DBK33 must be used. Note that DBK33 can supply
1000 mW at +5 VDC.
Note:
Daq Systems
The DBK34 has an 8 amp fuse, and has a capacity of 5 A-hr when in the 12V mode,
and a capacity of 2.5 A-hr when in the 24V mode.
