Software Setup
Reference Notes:
o DaqView users - Refer to DBK Setup in the DaqView PDF.
o Programmers using Daq devices should refer to related sections in the Programmer’s
Manual.
Note: DaqView includes functions for the conversion and linearization of thermocouple readings into
temperature data.
When a DBK90 is selected in DaqView, thermocouple types must also be selected for the module’s
channels. The steps for this are as follows:
1. In DaqView’s Configure System Hardware Window, select DBK90.
2. From the Channel Setup Tab (following figure) select the thermocouple types as applicable.
Do this for each channel.
Note: Channel types can be changed by double-clicking in the Type column, or by using the
Channel Type pull-down list.
In the DaqView figure below we see that J-type thermocouples have been selected for a DBK90 module’s
Channels 0 through 25; possibly more, but we would have to scroll down to view information for the other
channels. Note that channel 0 is designated as P1 0-0 and that channel 1 is seen as P1 0-1. The “0”
indicates that the DBK90 module is the first such module in the acquisition system. A second DBK90
module would list channel 0 as P1 1-0 and would show channel 1 as P1 1-1. A third module would have
P1 2-0, P1 2-1, and so on …
