Chapter 2: Before Connecting the Data
Acquisition Expansion Pod
This chapter contains instructions for connecting to the DAQ
Expansion Pod. It tells you how to—
Find a compatible data acquisition card
Find the necessary mating connector
Recognize signal modifications
Review this section before installing or running any software or
making any connections to the expansion pod.
Compatible Data Acquisition Cards
The DAQ Expansion Pod is designed to fully integrate the following
National Instruments DAQCard models.
Recommended National Instruments PCMCIA 68-pin E Series Data
Acquisition Cards:
NI 6024E 200 kS/s, 12-Bit, 16 Analog Input Multifunction DAQ
NI 6036E 200 kS/s, 16-bit, 16 Analog Input Multifunction DAQ
The following card is compatible with the DAQ Expansion Pod,
but we do not recommend it because the card cannot achieve the
maximum sample rate of 500 kS/s using the Allegro CX.
NI 6062E 500 kS/s, 12-Bit, 16 Analog Input Multifunction DAQ
CAUTION: Using any card model other than those listed above may
damage both the NI DAQCard and the Allegro CX.
Recommended Mating Connector
The DAQ Expansion Pod is outfitted with a male, 50-pin D connector
for sensor input. We recommend purchasing a mating connector that
uses a stainless steel connector with gold plated pins for corrosion
resistance and good electrical connections. Positronic Industries’
standard D-subminiature connector meets these standards. You can
purchase this connector at www.connectpositronic.com.
