Section C 968596 Connecting a DaqBook/2000A or /2000X to a DaqBook/2000E C-5
3. Set the Expansion Port number.
In our current setup, the DaqBook/2000A (or DaqBook/2000X) is a second-level device. This is because it
is connected to an expansion port of a first-level device, i.e., the DaqBook/2000E.
For this step select the expansion port number to which the DaqBook/2000A or DaqBook/2000X is
connected, i.e., Port 1, Port 2, or Port 3.
Note: The DaqBook/2000A and DaqBook/2000X make use of the same IP address as the DaqBook/2000E
to which they are connected. For this reason no configuration of the IP address is called for in the
second-level device’s properties box.

4. Test the system connections.
a. Make sure the device has been properly installed and is powered-on.
b. Make sure all cables are properly and securely connected.
c. Click the “Test Hardware” tab.
d. Click the <Resource Test> button.
The test results have two components: Resource Tests and Performance Tests.
Appendix G, Resource and Performance Tests , includes a brief explanation of the tests.
Testing the DaqBook/2000 Series device may, in some cases, cause the system to hang.
If test results are not displayed in 30 seconds or the system does not seem to be responding,
reboot the system. Upon power-up, re-enter the Daq Configuration and change the
DaqBook/2000 Series device configuration settings to those that work properly.
This completes the instructions for connecting a DaqBook/2000A or DaqBook/2000X to a
DaqBook/2000E. At this point you should refer to the DaqBook/2000 Series User’s Manual
(p/n 1103-0901) for additional system information. The document includes pinouts, information on
system expansion, data acquisition, and links to software and programming documents (in PDF
format).
You can access the documents directly from the opening screen of the data acquisition CD via the
<View PDFs> button.
