Using a DBK70 with a Daq* Product or LogBook
The DBK70 has both straight-through and multiplexed outputs. The multiplexed outputs are designed
specifically for use with IOtech’s Daq* and LogBook products. The straight-through outputs can be used
with any measurement device, including IOtech’s WaveBook products.
Reference Note:
Refer to the block diagram on page 2-1 to better understand the relationship between the
multiplexed and straight through outputs.
To use the DBK70 with a DaqBook, DaqBoard, Daq PC-Card, or LogBook, connect the DBK70’s P1
connector to the P1 connector of any of the aforementioned data acquisition products via a ribbon cable
(CA-37).
From the perspective of, for example, the DaqBook, the DBK70 represents an analog input expansion
module that is multiplexing 16 analog inputs into one of the DaqBook’s analog input channels. The
example diagram below shows the JP1 jumper in the DBK70 set to channel 1. When the sequencer selects
base channel 1 and expansion channel 15, the voltage signal passes through the highlighted path.
