Daq Systems, the Modular Concept
Daq equipment and software form a modular, interrelated family of products that provide great flexibility in
data acquisition system design. This flexibility allows for the development of custom systems that are
unique to the user, and which can be optimized for his or her specific application needs. With the Daq
product line, system expansion or redesign can typically be accomplished with relative ease.

Primary Acquisition Device. This is the main data acquisition device, e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard,
or Daq PC-Card. These devices provide a vital data conversion and communications link between
the data source of transducers and signal conditioners and the data processor of the host computer.
Note the DaqBoards can be one of three types: (1) ISA, (2) PCI, or (3) compact-PCI.
•
DBK Option Cards and Modules. Over 35 DBK cards and modules (the number is constantly
growing) provide various types of signal conditioning and system expansion. Note that certain DBK
modules exist for the purpose of supplying power to other members of the acquisition system. The
DBK options are discussed in a DBK Basics document module and in the detailed DBK Option Cardsand User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905).
Note: Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, and
the DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with a Daq PC-Cards.

Synchronous Input Operations
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series products allow synchronous scanning and acquisition of
Analog Input, Digital Input and Counter Input Data at up to 200kHz aggregate scanning rates. The Analog
Input data can be either main unit or expansion modules from P1 compatible analog input modules. The
Digital Input data can be main unit 8-bit P2 (8255) digital inputs, 16-bit P3 digital inputs or P2 compatible
DBK digital input expansion modules.
Analog Input Channels
The DaqBoard/2000 Series boards and /2000c Series boards that offer analog input (see matrix) allow
analog input configuration for the board as well as the P1 compatible DBK analog input expansion
modules.
Channel Selection and Mode Settings
The main unit accepts up to 16 single ended or up to 8 differential-ended inputs and can be programmed for
single-ended or differential-ended on a per channel basis. Just one analog channel is sacrificed when a
DBK expansion module is enabled. See DBK documentation in the DBK Option Cards & Modules User’sManual (p/n 457-0905) for further information.
Channel Range and Polarity
Each main unit channel also may be programmed for either unipolar or bipolar mode with gain settings of
1,2,4,8,16,32 and 64.
Channel Sampling Interval
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow programmable sampling intervals of 5us or 10us
on a per channel basis. This mode allows some channels which change slowly but a higher degree of
accuracy is desirable to be sampled at a longer interval while channels that change more rapidly to be
sampled using a shorter interval. Each 5us or 10us interval reduces the maximum aggregate acquisition rate
for the entire scan by that amount.
Digital Input Channels
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow either synchronous scanning of digital input
channels or asynchronous I/O operations for all configured digital channels.
Counter Input Channels
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow synchronous scanning of the 4 16-bit counter
input channels. The four 16-bit counter channels can also be cascaded into two 32-bit counter channels.
For either cascaded or non-cascaded counter channels each channel can be configured for:
•
Pulse Counting Mode – specifies that each counter should be cleared upon being read and placed into
the input scan.
•
Totalize Counting Mode – specifies that each counter is to free-run and not be cleared during the input
acquisition.
Synchronous Input Acquisition Clocking
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow clocking of the synchronized inputs either by an
internal, programmable pacer clock or by external clocking. These products use a sequencer to implement a
multiplexing approach to gathering the input data. This means that with either internal or external clocking
the entire channel scan (including the sampling time for each channel) may not exceed the maximum
aggregate rate of 200kHz.
DaqBoard/2000 Series & /2000c Series User’s Manual
10-18-02
Daq Systems and Device Overviews 1-5
Synchronous Output Operations
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow synchronous output of any D/A or P3 16-bit
Digital channels available at up to 100kHz for each channel. All D/A channels available and the 16-bit P3
Digital channel may have output streamed to them and clocked out synchronously. The D/A channels may
be configured for waveform output and the P3 digital channel may be configured for streamed digital
pattern output using the same clock sources.
Output Channel Configuration
Analog Output Channels
Each D/A channel can be configured for waveform output individually. If the D/A channel is not
configured for waveform output it then is available for asynchronous output operations.
Digital Pattern Output Channel
The 16-bit P3 Digital Port can be configured for streamed digital pattern output. If not configured for
streamed digital pattern output operations it then may be used for asynchronous digital I/O operations.
Synchronous Output Clocking
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and the /2000c Series boards allow clocking of the synchronized output by the
acquisition clock source, an internal, programmable pacer clock or by an external clock source. When the
clock source generates a new clock signal all outputs are updated concurrently. Regardless of the clock
source, the clock may not exceed the maximum update rate of 100kHz.
Synchronous Output Data Source
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow the data source for synchronized output
operations to be that of a memory based buffer or a file located on a mass storage medium. With either type
of output data source, the output data for all the channels are contained in the buffer and/or file. The file
path may be any file located on the on the machine or network accessible file.
Asynchronous I/O Operations
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards allow asynchronous input of any counter or digital
channel that is not currently configured for synchronous acquisition. The boards also allow for
asynchronous output to any D/A channels not currently configured for waveform output. Likewise, the
16-bit P3 digital port can be used for both asynchronous input and output operations if it is not currently
configured for streamed pattern output operations. In addition, the timer outputs can be programmed at any
time regardless of the current state of synchronous or asynchronous operations on other channels.
Digital I/O Channels
Local 8255 Channels
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards [which have digital I/O capabilities] have an
implemented Intel 8255 core in the digital I/O logic on the P2 port of the product. With the Intel 8255 there
are three 8-bit wide ports available for I/O and one 8-bit wide port for configuration purposes. The
configuration port is used to configure the other three 8-bit ports for either input or output operations.
Local 16-bit P3 Port
The 16-bit P3 Digital Port can be used as either an input, or an output port. With this port, no configuration
is required, the port simply outputs when written to and inputs when read.
Expansion Digital I/O
The DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards that have digital I/O capabilities have the ability to
expand these through the P2 port and the connection of applicable digital I/O expansion modules. These
modules are discussed in the DBKOption Cards & Modules User’s Manual. When using the digital I/O
expansion modules the local P2 Intel 8255 digital I/O becomes inaccessible in lieu of the expansion
modules. These expansion modules provide additionally Intel 8255 ports as well as input isolation for
applications that require the expanded capabilities.

DaqBoard/2000 Series & /2000c Series User’s Manual
Pulse Stream Output Using Timers
The boards allow the generation of output pulses based upon a programmable setting. These output timers
can be set at any time regardless of the state of any synchronous or asynchronous operations which are
currently taking place on other channels.
Analog Output Channels
The boards that have analog output capabilities have the ability to output analog data to any of the available
(up to four) D/A channels. Each D/A channel may be asynchronously updated by an application if the D/A
channel is not currently being used for waveform output operations.
Counter Input Channels
With exception of DaqBoard/2003 and /2003c, the boards have counter input capabilities and have the
ability to read counter input [if the counter channel is not configured for synchronous acquisition]. As in the
case of synchronous operations the 4 16-bit counter input channels can be used individually or cascaded
into 2 32-bit counter channels. For either cascaded or non-cascaded counter channels each channel can be
configured for:
•
Clear on Read Mode - specifies that each counter should be cleared (reset to 0) upon being read.
•
Continuous Totalize Mode – specifies that each counter is to free-run and not be cleared during
the read operation.

DaqBoard/2000 and DaqBoard/2000c are high-speed, multi-function, plug-and-play data acquisition boards
for PCI and compact-PCI bus computers, respectively. They feature a 16-bit, 200-kHz A/D converter,
digital calibration, bus mastering DMA, two 16-bit, 100-kHz D/A converters, 40 digital I/O lines, four
counters, and two timers.
Up to 470 channels of analog and digital I/O can be accessed with one DaqBoard/2000 or
DaqBoard/2000c. Up to four boards can be installed into a PC.
A 100-pin connector on the boards provides access to all of the input and output signals. The
DaqBoard/2000 and /2000c accommodate all I/O with one cable and one PCI [or compact-PCI] slot.
The 100-pin I/O connector, P4, is logically divided into three ports:
•
P1 – Analog input port for16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs with 13 software
programmable ranges (±10 V to ±156 mV full scale).
•
P2 – General purpose digital I/O port with 24 lines, or digital I/O expansion port controlling up to 192
external lines.
•
P3 – 16-bit digital I/O port, counter inputs, timer outputs, and analog outputs.
The on-board scan sequencer lets you select up to 512 channel/range combinations. The sequencer scans all
channels of the scan at 5µs or 10 µs/channel.
Bus mastering allows analog and digital/counter input data, as well as analog and digital output data, to flow
between the PC and the DaqBoard/2000 or /2000c without consuming CPU time.
DaqBoard/2000 and DaqBoard/2000c support a full complement of trigger modes including:
•
Hardware analog triggering – A user-programmed trigger level sets an analog DAC, which is
compared in hardware to the analog input level on the selected channel. Trigger latency is < 5 µs.
•
Digital and pattern triggering – The boards have separate digital trigger input line, allowing TTL-
level triggering and latencies less than 5 µs. The trigger can be programmed for logic level or edge
triggering. In pattern triggering, any of the digital input ports acts as the trigger port. You can program
the digital pattern.
•
Software-based triggering – The PC detects the trigger event from readings, either analog, digital, or
counter. Six pre- and post-triggering modes are supported.
The two 16-bit, 100-kHz analog output channels have an output from –10 V to +10 V. (These channels are
separate from the D/As used to determine analog trigger levels.) Using Bus Mastering DMA, each D/A can
output a waveform. Bus Mastering DMA also allows for digital pattern generation on the 16-bit high-speed
digital I/O port.
Other features of the DaqBoard/2000 and the DaqBoard/2000c include:
•
40 TTL-level digital I/O lines. They are divided into three 8-bit ports and one 16-bit port.
•
Four 16-bit counters. Each can accept frequency inputs up to 10 MHz. The counters can be cascaded
into two 32-bit counters.
•
Two 16-bit timer outputs. Each can generate square waves from 16 Hz to 1 MHz.
•
Configuration through software. There are no switches or jumpers on the DaqBoard/2000 or on the
DaqBoard/2000c.

for PCI or compact-PCI bus computers, respectively. They feature a 16-bit, 200-kHz A/D converter, digital
calibration, bus mastering DMA, four 16-bit, 100-kHz D/A converters, 40 digital I/O lines, four counters,
and two timers.
Up to 470 channels of analog and digital I/O can be accessed with one DaqBoard/2001 or one /2001c
board. Up to four boards can be installed into a PC.
A 100-pin connector on the DaqBoard/2001 or /2001c provides access to all of the input and output signals.
The boards accommodate all I/O with one cable and one PCI [or compact-PCI] slot. The 100-pin I/O
connector, P4, is logically divided into three ports:
•
P1 – Analog input port for16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs with 13 software
programmable ranges (±10 V to ±156 mV full scale).
•
P2 – General purpose digital I/O port with 24 lines, or digital I/O expansion port controlling up to 192
external lines.
•
P3 – 16-bit digital I/O port, counter inputs, timer outputs, and analog outputs.
The on-board scan sequencer lets you select up to 512 channel/range combinations. The sequencer scans all
channels of the scan at 5µs or 10µs/channel.
Bus mastering allows analog and digital/counter input data, as well as analog and digital output data, to flow
between the PC and the DaqBoard/2001, or to the DaqBoard/2001c, without consuming CPU time.
DaqBoard/2001 and DaqBoard/2001c support a full complement of trigger modes including:
•
Hardware analog triggering – A user-programmed trigger level sets an analog DAC, which is
compared in hardware to the analog input level on the selected channel. Trigger latency is < 5 µs.
•
Digital and pattern triggering – The DaqBoard/2001 and /2001c have separate digital trigger input
line, allowing TTL-level triggering and latencies less than 5 µs. The trigger can be programmed for
logic level or edge triggering. In pattern triggering, any of the digital input ports acts as the trigger port.
You can program the digital pattern.
•
Software-based triggering – The PC detects the trigger event from readings, either analog, digital, or
counter. Six pre- and post-triggering modes are supported.
The four 16-bit, 100-kHz analog output channels have an output from –10 V to +10 V. (These channels are
separate from the D/As used to determine analog trigger levels.) Using Bus Mastering DMA, each D/A can
output a waveform. Bus Mastering DMA also allows for digital pattern generation on the 16-bit high-speed
digital I/O port.
Other features of the DaqBoard/2001 and /2001c include:
•
40 TTL-level digital I/O lines. They are divided into three 8-bit ports and one 16-bit port.
•
Four 16-bit counters. Each can accept frequency inputs up to 10 MHz. The counters can be cascaded
into two 32-bit counters.
•
Two 16-bit timer outputs. Each can generate square waves from 16 Hz to 1 MHz.
•
Configuration through software. There are no switches or jumpers on the DaqBoard/2001 or on the
DaqBoard/2001c.

Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning
The DBK signal-conditioning cards and module are designed for use with DaqBooks, LogBooks, and
various types of data acquisition boards, i.e., ISA, PCI, and compact-PCI types. The DBKs perform best
when used with an acquisition device that can dynamically select channel, gain, and range. DBK cards and
modules with dynamic channel and gain/range selection allow for high channel-to-channel scan rates with a
variety of transducers.
Note: Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, and the
DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with Daq PC-Cards.
DBK output signals can be bipolar, e.g., -5 to +5 V, or unipolar, e.g., 0 to 10 V. The user can select a range
of relevant values to correspond to the lowest signal (e.g., -5 or 0 V) and the highest signal (e.g., 5 or 10 V)
signal. This type of range selection guarantees the highest resolution in 12-bit or 16-bit conversion.
DBK modules share the same footprint as the DaqBook and a typical notebook PCs; allowing for
convenient stacking. The majority of these modules have their own power supply; however, several options
exist for packaging and powering the DBKs.
Reference Note:
DBK options are detailed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual
(p/n 457-0905). As a part of product support, this manual is automatically loaded onto your
hard drive during software installation. The default location is the Programs directory, which
can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.
Daq Software
The Daq devices have software options capable of handling most applications. Three types of software are
available:
Ready-to-use programs are convenient for fill-in-the-blank applications that do not require programming for
basic data acquisition and display:
•
ready-to-use graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, DaqViewXL, and post acquisition data analysis
programs such as PostView, DIAdem, and eZ-PostView
•
drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as DASYLab and LabView
•
various language drivers to aid custom programming using API
•
DaqView is a Windows-based program for basic set-up and data acquisition. DaqView lets you
select desired channels, gains, transducer types (including thermocouples), and a host of other
parameters with a click of a PC’s mouse. DaqView lets you stream data to disk and display data
in numerical or graphical formats. PostView is a post-acquisition waveform-display program
within DaqView.
•
DaqViewXL allows you to interface directly with Microsoft Excel to enhance data handling and
display. Within Excel you have a full-featured Daq control panel and all the data display
capabilities of Excel.
•
Post acquisition data analysis programs, e.g., PostView, DIAdem, and eZ-PostView, typically
allow you to view and edit post-acquisition data.
•
The Daq Configuration control panel allows for interface configuration, testing, and
troubleshooting.
Each Daq system comes with an Application Programming Interface (API). API-language drivers include:
C/C++, Delphi, and Visual Basic. The latest software is a 32-bit version API.

Introduction
The term “DBK” typically refers to a card or module that is used to expand or enhance a primary data
acquisition device, such as a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook. As will be seen in the upcoming DBK
identification tables, DBKs provide a wide variety of data acquisition functions. Depending on the DBKs
used, one or more of the following can be realized:
&$87,21
The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components.
Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage. You should
always handle components carefully, and you should never touch co nnector pins or
circuit components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an appropriate ESD
controlled area. Such guidelines include the use of properly gro unded mats and
wrist straps, ESD bags and cartons, and related procedures.

How Do DBKs Connect to the Data Acquisition Device?
Each DBK connects to the primary data acquisition device; e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook,
through one of three 37-pin ports, which are de signated as follows:
•
P1 – Analog I /O
•
P2 – Digital I/O
•
P3 – Pulse/Frequenc y/High-Speed Digital I/O
Depending on the primary data acquisition device, connectivity issues differ slightly. This will be made
clear by the figures and accompanying text that follow.
Connecting DBKs to DaqBooks, ISA-Type DaqBoards, and LogBooks
For DaqBooks, ISA-Type DaqBoards, and LogBooks, DBK connections are not made directly to the port,
but through a CA-37 -x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the number of expansion devices that can be
connected. For example, in addition to providing a DB37 connector to interface with the primary data
acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of
adding three DBKs to one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added. The
CA-37-x cable system is excellent for DaqBooks, LogBooks, and ISA-type DaqBoards.
pg. 2, DBK Basics
Connecting DBKs to a DaqBook
The above figure applies to LogBooks, DaqBooks, and ISA-type DaqBoards. As will be seen elsewhere in
the documentation, some models do not include all three connectors (P1, P2, and P3).

Daq Systems
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.

Connecting DBKs to DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series Boards
DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000 Series boards have 100-pin connectors designated as P4.
The 100 pins correlate to various pins on P1, P2, and P3 DB37 connectors.* Connectivity in the system is
as follows (see figure).
•
Both the DaqBoard/2000 and /2000c Series board connect to a CA-195 cable.
The cable has two, 100-pin, P4 connectors.
•
The CA-195 connects to a DBK200 Series adapter board or adapter module for 100-pin to
37-pin adaptations, e.g., P4-to-P1, P2, P3; but not necessarily all three.*
•
The DBK200 Series adapter connects to a CA-37-x ribbon cable, where “x” indicates the
number of expansion devices that can be connected. For example, in addition to providing a
DB37 connector to interface with the primary data acquisition device, a CA-37-3 cable
includes three additional DB37 connectors. These provide a means of adding three DBKs to
one port. Use of a CA-37-16 cable will allow up to 16 DBKs to be added.
•
The CA-37-x cable connects to expansion DBKs, in accordance with port type. For example,
Analog DBKs to port P1, Digital DBKs to port 2, and passive DBKs to port 3.
pg. 4, DBK Basics
Connecting DBKs to a DaqBoard/2000 Series Board
* DaqBoard/2003 and cPCI DaqBoard/2003c are exceptions to the above connectivity method. The /2003
board typically connects directly to a DBK205 (P4-to-Screw Terminal Adapter), as discussed in the
DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905).

Analog Signal Conditioning DBKs
The DBKs that are used for analog signal conditioning attach to transducers and condition their outputs into
analog voltages. An A/D converter, located in the primary acquisition device, measures the analog
voltages. There are many signal-conditioning solutions available (and more are in development). Note that
DBK high-capacity modules require more circuitry than can fit on a compact card.

Power Supply DBKs
Power supply type DBKs are typically used in laboratory, automotive, and field applications. Input power
can come from any +10 to +20 VDC source, or from an AC source by using an appropriately rated AC-toDC adapter. The DBK30A rechargeable power supply can power DBK modules where AC mains are not
available (the DBK30A outputs 28 V for powering transducers). For a large number of DBK cards, the
DBK32A or DBK33 can be installed into an expansion slot. The DBK33 is used when +5 V is required in
addition to ±15 VDC. The DBK34 provides a steady 12 or 2 4 VDC while working with vehicle electrical
systems that may be turned on or off during testing.

Tips on Setting up a Data Acquisition System
A successful installation involves setting up equipment and setting software parameters. In addition to this
manual, you may need to consul t your Daq device or LogBook user’s manual.
DBKs should be configured before connections are made and power is applied. This sequence can prevent
equipment damage and will help ensure proper operation on startup. Many DBKs have on-board jumpers
and/or DIP switches that are used for setting channels and other variables. You will need to refer to the
individual DBK document modules to ensure that the DBKs are properly configured for you application.
Prior to designing or setting up a custom data acquisition system, you should review the following tips.
After reviewing the material you can write out the steps to setup a system that will best meet your specific
application needs.
1. The end use of the acquisition data should be used to determine how you set up and program your
acquisition system. Prior to creating the system you should understand its layout and know how you
are going to assign the channels. If you can answer the following questions you are off to a good start.
If not, you need to find the answers.
•
What engineering uni ts, ranges, sampling rates, etc. are best for your data?
•
Will the data be charted graphically, statistically processed, or exported to other programs?
•
How will the data be used?
•
How will the data be saved?
•
What are your system’ power requirements? Using several DBKs or transducers that
require excitation current may require an extra power supply, e.g., a DBK32A.
2. Assign channel numbers.
3. Plan the location of transducers, cable runs, DBKs, the acquisition device [LogBook or Daq device],
and the computer. Label your transducers, cables, and connectors to prevent later confusion.
4. When configuring your LogBook or Daq device(s) consider the following:
•
LogBook ca libration is typically performed automatically through LogView software;
however, some DBKs may require manual calibration.
•
The DaqBook and DaqBoard (ISA type) have internal jumpers and switches that you
must set manually to match your application.
•

modules. The best option depends on the number of DBK cards in your system. For just a few cards,
use the stackable 3-slot DBK10 low-profile expansion enclosure. For more than six cards, use the 10slot DBK41. DBK41s can be daisy-chained to one-another to handle a large number of DBKs.
16. In regard to power management, you should review the DBK30A, DBK32A, and DBK33 document
modules. For portable applications, the compact DBK30A rechargeable power supply can provide
power to the DBK10 or DBK41. The DBK30A also includes a 28 V output for powering 4 to 20 mA
transducers. For applications with many DBK cards (initially or in future expansion), the DBK32A or
DBK33 can be installed into any expansion slot. The DBK32A provides ±15 VDC and the DBK33
provides ±15 VDC and +5 VDC.
Power Supplies and Connectors
Power supplies convert the raw power they receive into a lower DC voltage and/or current for use by
devices with various power demands. Many of the power supplies that are used to power data acquisition
equipment are of the switching-mode type. These devices provide a regulated output whether the power
supply’s input is, for example, 60 Hz, 120 VAC as in the United States or, 50 Hz, 220 VAC as found in
European countries. Small power supplies, that do not switch, consist of simple transformer/rectifiers and
filtered capacitors; and operate over a smaller voltage range.
LogBooks - The switching-mode power supply commonly used with LogBook systems uses an input
range of 100 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply’s output [to the LogBook] is
15 VDC @ 2.7 amps via a DIN5 connector.
DaqBooks - Power supplies that are used with DaqBooks are typically of the transformer/rectifier type.
They supply the DaqBook with 15 VDC @ 900 mA via a DIN5 connector.
DBKs – The following table indicates the type of power supply that is typically used with certain DBKs.
15 VDC @ 2700 mA
Switching-Mode
Type Power Supply
The DBKs in this column use up to 15 VDC @
2700 mA. This switching-mode power supply

An Introduction to Power-Related DBKs
The power-related DBK options are the DBK30A, DBK32A, DBK33, DBK34, and DBK34A. From the
standpoint of providing reliable power, these DBKs have proven convenient in laboratory, automotive, and
field applications.
Input power for these devices can come from any 10 to 20 VDC source, or from an AC source via an
appropriate AC-to-DC adapter.
A brief synopsis of the DBK power options follows. Refer to the respective document modules for
complete information.

module - provides power at 14 and 28 VDC with a rated capacity of 3.4 A-hr @ 14 VDC.
The module’s rechargeable power supply can power
DBK modules in situations where AC mains are not available.
: Some transducers (e.g., 2-wire 4-20 mA transmitters, bridge-configured sensors, etc) require an
Note
excitation voltage in order to work properly. The DBK30A supplies 14 and 28 VDC. Consult
transducer documentation before applying power.
DBK32A
- provides ±15 VDC @ 500 mA.
DBK33
- provides ±15 VDC @ 250 mA and +5 VDC @ 1000 mA.
The DBK32A and DBK33 power cards attach directly to the P1 analog expansion bus where they supply power
to DBK analog expansion cards. The DBK32A and the DBK33 can be powered from an included AC adapter,
an optional DBK30A battery module, or from a +10 to +20 VDC source such as a car battery.
When installed in a DBK10
three-slot expansion chassis, the DBK32A or DBK33 supplies power to
the analog DBK [that is to receive power] via a CA-37-x cable.
If used with the DBK41
ten-slot expansion enclosure, the DBK32A or DBK33 installs into one of the analog
expansion slots on the DBK41’s backplane. A power card in any DBK41slot (other than the leftmost, when
viewed from the rear) will power the other cards that are connected to the DBK41’s backplane.

and digital expansion. The board provides three DB37
connectors (P1, P2, and P3).
DBK209 connects to DaqBoard/2000 Series or /2000c Series
P4 connector via a CA-195 cable.
Other than the form factor, DBK209 is identical to DBK201.
•
P1 is used for ANALOG I/O.
•
P2 is used for DIGITAL I/O.
•
P3 is used for Pulse/Frequency (Digital and
Counter/Timer) I/O.

Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1,
P2 I/Os to P2, and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment
damage.
The following P1, P2, and P3 connector pinouts pertain to the DBK200 Series adapter boards that were
discussed in the first part of this chapter. P1, P2, and P3 are subset connectors of the 100-pin P4 connector
found on the DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards, and for that reason P4 pin-correlation is
provided.
&$87,21
Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1,
P2 I/Os to P2, and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment
damage.
Note: In the pinouts that follow, some pins are irrelevant to certain DaqBoards. For example:
DaqBoard/2002, /2002c, /2004, and 2004c have no P1 correlation; and for those boards P1 and the
associated P4 pins should be ignored. The DaqBoard/2003 and /2003c only relate to P3 and the
associated P4 pins; but for these two boards, a DBK205 screw-terminal adapter is typically used
(see page 2-3). Note that chapter 1, Device Systems and Device Overviews, contains detailed
information that is specific to each board.

Overview
CE standards were developed by the European Union (EU) dating from 1985 and include specifications
both for safety and for EMI emissions and immunity. Now, all affected products sold in EU countries must
meet such standards. Although not required i n t he USA, these standards are considered good engineering
practice since they enhance safety while reducing noise and ESD problems.
In contracted and in-house testing, most Daq* products met the required specifications. Those products not
originally in compliance were redesigned accordingly. In some cases, alternate product versions, shield
plates, edge guards, special connectors, or add-on kits are required to meet CE compliance.
CE-compliant products bear the “CE” mark and include a Declaration of Conformity stating the
particular specifications and conditions that apply. The test records and supporting documentation
that validate the compliance are kept on file at the factory.
CE Standards and Directives
The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directives specify two basic requirements:
1. The device must not interfere with radio or telecommunications.
2. The device must be immune from electromagnetic interference from RF transmitters, etc.
The standards are published in the Official Journal of European Union under direction of CENELEC
(European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). The specific standards relevant to Daq*
equipment are listed on the product’s Declaration of Conformity and include: CISPR22:1985;
EN55022:1988 (Information Technology Equipment, Class A for commercial/industrial use); and
EN50082-1:1992 for various categories of EMI immunity.
The safety standard that applies to Daq* products is EN 61010-1 : 1993 (Safety Requirements for ElectricalEquipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use, Part 1: General Requirements).
Environmental conditions include the following:
•

For clarification, terms used in some Declarations of Conformity include:
•
pollution degree: any addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid or gaseous (ionized gases) that may
produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity. Pollution Degree I has no influence
on safety and implies: the equipment is at operating temperature with non-condensing humidity
conditions; no conductive particles are permitted in the atmosphere; warm-up time is sufficient to
avert any condensation or frost; no hazardous voltages are applied until completion of the warm-up
period. Pollution Degree II implies the expectation of occasional condensation.
•
overvoltage (installation) category: classification with limits for transient overvoltage, dependent
on the nominal line voltage to earth. Category I implies signals without high transient values.
Category II applies to typical mains power lines with some transients.

Buffer
A collection of scans acquired at a specified rate as controlled by the sequencer.
A signal of varying voltage or current that communicates data.
A circuit or device that converts analog values into digital values, such as binary bits, for use in
digital computer processing.
Application Program Interface. The interface program within the Daq* system’s driver that
includes function calls specific to Daq* hardware and can be used with user-written programs
(several language s supported).
A range of analog signals with positive and negative values (e.g., -5 to +5 V); see unipolar.
Buffer refers to a ci rcuit or device that allows a signal to pass through it, while p roviding
isolation, or another function, without altering the signal. Buffer usually refers to:
(a)
A device or circuit that allows for the temporary storage of data during data transfers. Such
storage can compensate for differences in data flow rates. In a FIFO (First In - First Out)
buffer, the data that is stored first is also the first data to leave the buffer.
(b)
A follower stage used to drive a number of gates without overloading the preceding stage.
(c)
An amplifier which accepts high source impedance input and results in low source
impedance output (effectively, an impedance buffer).
Buffer Amplifier
Channel
Common mode
Common mode
voltage
Crosstalk
Digital
An amplifier used primarily to match two different impedance points, and isolate one stage from
a succeeding stage in order to prevent an undesirable interaction between the two stages. (Also
see, Buffer).
In reference to Daq*, channel simply refers to a single input, or output entity.
In a broader sense, an input channel is a signal path between the transducer at the point of
measurement and the data acquisition system. A channel ca n go through various stages
(buffers, multiplexers, or signal conditioning amplifiers and filters). Input channels are
periodically sampled for readings.
An output channel from a device can be digital or analog. Outputs can vary in a programmed
way in response to an input channel signal.
Common mode pertains to signals that are identical in amplitude and duration; also can be used
in reference to signal components.
Common mode voltage refers to a volt age magnitude (refe renced to a common point) that is
shared by 2 or more signals. Example: referenced to common, Signal 1 is +5 VDC and Signal
2 is +6 VDC. The common mode voltage for the two signals is +5.5 VDC [(5 + 6)/2].
An undesired transfer of signals between systems or system components. Crosstalk causes signal
interference, more commonly referred to as noise.
A digital signal is one of discrete value, in contrast to a varying signal. Combinations of binary
digits (0s and 1s) represent digital data.

Excitation
A DIP switch is a group of miniature switches in a small Dual In-line Package (DIP). Typically,
users set these switches to configure their particular application.
The differential mode measures a voltage between 2 signal lines for a single channel. (Also see
single-ended mode).
Differential mode voltage refers to a voltage difference between two signals that are referenced to
a common point. Example: Signal 1 is +5 VDC referenced to common. Signal 2 is +6 VDC
referenced to common.
If the +5 VDC signal is used as the reference, the differential mode voltage is +1 VDC
(+ 6 VDC - +5 VDC = +1 VDC).
If the +6 VDC signal is used as the reference, the differential mode voltage is -1 VDC
(+ 5 VDC - +6 VDC = -1 VDC).
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic charge between bodies having
different electrostatic potentials. This transfer occurs during direct contact of the bodies, or
when induced by an electrostatic field. ESD energy can damage an integrated circuit (IC); so
safe handling is required.
Some transducers [e.g. strain gages, thermistors, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)]
require a known voltage or current. Typically, the variation of thi s signal through the
transducer corresponds to the condition measured.

Sample-and-Hold
The degree to which an input signal is amplified (or attenuated) to allow greater accuracy and
resolution; can be expressed as ×n or ±dB.
The arrangement or operation of a circuit so that signals from another circuit or device do not
affect the isolated circuit.
In reference to Daq*, isolation usually refers to a separation of the direct link between the signal
source and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Isolation is necessary when measuring high
common-mode voltage.
Some transducers produce a voltage in linear proportion to the condition measured. Other
transducers (e.g., thermocouples) have a nonlinear response. To convert nonlinear signals into
accurate readings requires software to calibrate several points in the range used and then
interpolate values between these points.
A device that collects signals from several inputs and outputs them on a single channel.
The value of a signal on a channel at an instant in time. When triggered, the ADC reads the
channel and converts the sampled value into a 12- or 16-bit value.
The channels that are selected for sampling.
A programmable device that manages channels and channel-specific settings.
An operation that gathers samples from multiple channels at the same instant and holds these
values until all are sequentially converted to digital values.
Single-ended mode
The single-ended mode measures a voltage between a signal line and a common reference that
may be shared with other channels. (Also see differential mode).

Trigger
An event to start a scan or mark an instant during an acquisition. The event can be defined in
various ways; e.g., a TTL signal, a specified voltage level in a monitored channel, a button
manually or mechanically engaged, a software command, etc. Some applications may use preand post-triggers to gather data around an instant or based on signal counts.
TTL
Unipolar
Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) is a circuit in which a multiple-emitter transistor has replaced
the multiple diode cluster (of the diode-transistor logic circuit); typically used to communicate
logic signals at 5 V.
A range of analog signals that is always zero or positive (e.g., 0 to 10 V). Evaluating a signal in
the right range ( uni polar or bipolar) a l lows greater resolution by using the full-range of the
corresponding digital value. See bipolar.
