Connecting the PC-Card to a Passive DBK Card or Module
A CA-134 Interface Cable provides a DB37 P1 connection for the Daq PC-Card. The CA-134 can connect
the Daq PC-Card to a single “passive” card or module. The passive DBKs are:
• DBK1 – 16 Connector BNC Module
• DBK11A – Screw Terminal Option Card
• DBK40 – BNC Analog Interface
Note: A CN-86-F (dual-socket type, DB37 connector) is used as an interface to connect CA-134’s
male P1 connector to the DBK’s P1 connector. See the following figure. The CN-86-F
connector is included with orders for the CA-134 cable.
Do not use the Daq PC-Card in conjunction with signal-conditioning type DBK cards.
The Daq PC-Card is only intended for connections to a P1 connector of a single
“passive” DBK card or module. A passive DBK card or module is one that provides a
desired connectivity (such as BNCs or screw terminals), but performs no signal
conditioning or channel count increase.
Daq PC-Card Cabling
1. Plug the DB37 (P1) connector of the Interface Cable into one end of the CN-86-F.
2. Plug the free end of the CN-86-F into the P1 connector of the compatible “passive”
DBK card or module; i.e., DBK1, DBK11A, or DBK40.
