Connections
CAUTION
Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting
cables or signal lines to the DBK. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable). Ensure boards do not come into
contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.
Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1, P2 I/Os to P2,
and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment damage.
Be sure to align the P4 orientation indicators (Œ) prior to mating the P4 connectors.
The following illustration and the actual board silkscreen are the only references you should need to make
proper connections.
Connection tips:
• Ensure power is removed from the device(s) to be connected.
• Observe ESD precautions when handling boards and making connections.
•
P1 is used for ANALOG I/O.
•
P2 is used for DIGITAL I/O.
• P3 is used for Pulse/Frequency (Digital and Counter/Timer) I/O.
• P4 (100-pin connector) connects to either the DaqBook/2000 Series device’s, DaqBoard/2000
Series board’s or cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series board’s P4 connector via a CA-195 Cable.
