DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series Connections
DBK42 can be connected to the P1 connector of DaqBoard/2000 Series P4-adapters. Up to 16 units can be
attached to one DaqBoard/2000 Series board.
Connect the appropriate ribbon cable (with -x indicating the number of cards to be connected) from the
adapter’s P1 port to the DB37 connector at the end of the option card.
Note: A series of interface cables is available for connecting up to 16 DBK42s.
DaqBook/100 Series & /200 Series and ISA-Type DaqBoard Configuration
The DBK42 requires two setup steps in DaqBook/100 Series & /200 Series devices and DaqBoards
[ISA type]—jumpers JP1 and JP4.
1. If not using auxiliary power, place the JP1 jumper in the expanded analog mode.
Note: This default position is necessary to power the interface circuitry of the DBK42 via the internal
±15 VDC power supply. If using auxiliary power (DBK32A, or DBK33), you must remove
both JP1 jumpers. Refer to Power Requirements in the DBK Basics section of the manual.
Also, refer to the DBK32A and DBK33 sections as applicable.
2. For DaqBook/100, /112, and /120 only, place the JP4 jumper in the DaqBook/100 & /200
or ISA-type DaqBoard in single-ended mode. Analog expansion cards convert all input signals to
single-ended voltages referenced to analog common.
DaqBook/2000 Series and DaqBoard/2000 Series Configuration
No Jumper configurations are required for these /2000 series devices.
