DBK201, P4-to-P1/P2/P3 Adapter

Overview

For a quick comparison of all DBK200 Series boards, refer to the DBK200 Series Matrix

which directly precedes this section.

Refer to the DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series User’s Manual

(p/n 1033-0901) or the DaqBook/2000 Series User’s Manual (p/n 1103-0901) for information
pertaining to those products, as needed.

DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards communicate [external from the host PC]
through a 100-pin P4 connector. The DBK201 P4-to-P1/P2/P3 adapter provides DB37 P1, P2, and P3
connectors. P1 is used for ANALOG I/O, P2 is used for DIGITAL I/O, and P3 is used for
Pulse/Frequency (Digital and Counter/Timer) I/O.

Note: The P1, P2, and P3 connectors discussed in association with DaqBook/2000 Series devices,

DaqBoard/2000 Series boards, and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards are subset connectors of
the 100-pin P4 connector that is located on those boards. Chapter 2 includes pinouts for P1, P2, P3,
and P4.

Connections

The following illustration and the actual board silkscreen are the only references you should need to make
proper connections.

CAUTION

Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting
cables or signal lines to the DBK. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)

Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable). Ensure boards do not come into
contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.

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.

Be sure to align the P4 orientation indicators () prior to mating the P4 connectors.

Connection tips:

• Ensure power is removed from the device(s) to be connected.

• Observe ESD precautions when handling boards and making connections.

• 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.

• P4 (100-pin connector) connects to either the DaqBook/2000 Series device’s, DaqBoard/2000

Series board’s or cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series board’s P4 connector via a CA-195 Cable.
