Overview
For proper operation most of the DBK options must be configured, both physically on the DBK, and in the
Configure System Hardware
dialog box.
“Analog Input” type DBKs will be under the P1 section of the screen, “Digital Input” DBKs will be under
the P2 section.
Prior to setting up a DBK you should review the applicable individual DBK section to ensure that the DBK
option is physically set as desired. Note that certain DBKs do not require configuration.
Understand your DBK’s physical configuration before attempting to set the device in
the Configure System Hardware dialog box. For example, if you were configuring a
DBK45 in DaqView, you would need to know the physical setup of rotary switch SW6
to properly set the address. To expedite the configuration, it is a good idea to have the
identity and setting information ready for each DIP-switch, rotary switch, and jumper,
as applicable.
