Connecting DBKs to Daq PC-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.
A CA-134 Interface Cable and a CN-86-F (dual DB37 female adapter) are used to provide the DB37,
P1 connector.
Daq PC-Card Cabling
The CA-134 cable connects to a CN-86-F adapter, which then connects 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
Reference Note:
For information regarding the passive DBKs (DBK1, DBK11A, and DBK40), refer to the
DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905) for details regarding
both hardware and software in relevant to DBKs.
