Connecting DBKs to a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” Device via P4

Every DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device has a 100-pin connector designated as P4. The P4 pins correlate to
various pins on P1, P2, and P3.

The P4 connector on a DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device shares signal connections with the
P1, P2, and P3 connectors. P4 offers no additional I/O. Connecting a DBK200 Series
Option to P4 via a CA-195 cable distances the P1, P2, P3 connection from the
DaqBook/2000 “AEX” device. It does not provide any new signal I/O. See the following
Caution.

CAUTION

Signal conflicts between a DaqBook/2000 AEX device’s P1, P2, P3 connectors and its
P4 connector can result in erroneous readings and possible equipment damage.

Therefore, when connections have been made to P1, P2, and/or P3, use caution when
making connections through P4, and visa versa.

Refer to P1, P2, P3, and P4 pinouts to avoid making duplicate signal connections.


A brief explanation of P4 connectivity for DaqBook/2000 AEX devices follows the illustration.
