Page 8: Daqbooks & Daqboards
DaqBooks and DaqBoards Daq products connect to one or more DBKs on their signal input side and a computer on their output side. Each type of Daq device connects to the computer in a different way: • The DaqBook is an external module that connects to a computer’s enhanced parallel port (EPP) interface or PC-Card link. -
Page 9: Daq Software
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. - Page 10 Reference Notes: The software document modules, DaqView, DaqViewXL, and Post Acquisition Data Analysis User’s Guide, are not included as part of the hardcopy manual, but are available in PDF version. See the PDF Note, below. Programming topics are covered in the Programmer’s User Manual (p/n OMB-1008-0901).

Page 11: Setup And Startup
Setup and Startup For DaqBook/100, /112, /120, /200, /216, /260* This chapter provides instructions for getting a DaqBook configured, connected, installing the appropriate software, and powering up the system. The figure, later on this page, provides an overview of the steps necessary for a successful setup. -
Page 12: Set Jumpers
(1) Set Jumpers (a) Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Ensure no power or signal lines are connected. (b) Remove cover screw(s), and slide the top cover plate free of the device. All jumpers are accessible from above the board, and no further disassembly is required. (c) Set jumpers JP1 through JP4 as needed for your application. -
Page 13: Connect To The Pc And Connect Power
JP2 – DAC Reference Voltage and SSH (Simultaneous Sample and Hold) JP2 selects an Internal (default) or External reference voltage for the two separate analog outputs. JP2 also selects SSH (default) for applications using one or more of the following: DBK2, DBK4, DBK5, DBK7, DBK17, DBK50, or DBK51. -
Page 14: Install Software And Product Support Documentation
If connecting your DaqBook to a notebook PC, you can use a WBK20A, PCMCIA Interface Card. Refer to separate instructions (supplied with the WBK20A) if applicable. WBK20A Interface Card Reference Note: It is possible to use a VDC power source other than an AC-to-DC adapter. Both the DBK Basics document module (included in this manual) and the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual contain power-related information. -
Page 15: Test Hardware
(5) Test Hardware (a) Run the Daq Configuration control panel applet. (b) Click “Add Device.” (c) Select your DaqBook model from the “Device Type” scroll box and click OK. (d) Select your DaqBook from the “Device Inventory” window and click “Properties.”... - Page 16 Performance Tests Performance tests are intended to test various DaqBook functions with the current device configuration. These tests give quantitative results for each supported functional group. The results represent maximum rates at which the various operations can be performed. These rates depend on the selected parallel port protocol and will vary according to port hardware capabilities.

Page 18: Performance Factors
Performance Factors DaqBooks are flexible when it comes to analog input capabilities. The A/D maximum sample rate is 100 kHz (divide by number of channels for scan rate) with a 16-channel multiplexer and a programmable- gain input amplifier. Users can expand channel capacity to 256 analog inputs via expansion modules for multiplexing RTDs, thermocouples, strain gages, anti-aliasing filters, and simultaneous sample and hold amplifiers. -

Page 20: Jumpers
Jumpers Proper installation requires that several jumpers and switches be set correctly for your application. These jumpers and switches are located inside the DaqBook enclosure and possibly on your DBKs. Jumpers for the various DaqBook models are configured similarly except for the jumpers’ relative locations. Silk- screening on the motherboard identifies jumpers and switches. - Page 21 Reference Note: The Power Management section of the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n OMB-457-0905) contains additional power-related information. 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.
- Page 22 Bipolar or Unipolar A/D Operation (JP3)* *Hardware Setting For DaqBook/100, DaqBook /112, and DaqBook /120 Only The A/D converter in the DaqBook can be operated in two modes, bipolar or unipolar. In the bipolar mode (default setting), input voltages up to ±5 VDC can be applied (on the ×1 gain range). In the unipolar mode, positive voltages up to 10 VDC may be applied (×1 gain range).

Page 23: Connections
Time Base Selection (JP5) JP5 is a 2×3 header that allows you to apply 1 of 3 oscillator- derived frequencies to the 8254 timer chip. The frequencies are 100 kHz, 1 MHz, and 10 MHz. The default setting is 1 MHz. Note: A special-version 8254 timer-chip is required for 10 MHz. -
Page 24: Connector Pinouts
Power Adapter To verify connections, turn ON the power switch by flipping the rocker- switch to the “1” position, and the POWER LED should light up. If using a printer, check operation by issuing a <PRINT SCREEN> or equivalent command. Note: Software installation is necessary before the DaqBook can perform any functions. - Page 25 DaqBook P1 Pinout Analog I/O (compatible with Metrabyte DAS-16) Signal Name +5 PWR CTR 0 OUT/-15 VDC OP 3/CHS 3 OP 1/CHS 1 IP 3/GS 1 IP 1/GS 0 POWER GND VREF (-5V) D/A 0 OUT D/A 0 REF IN CH 7 LO IN/CH 15 HI IN CH 6 LO IN/CH 14 HI IN CH 5 LO IN/CH 13 HI IN...

Page 33: Stacking Hardware
Stacking Hardware Using Dual-Lock Tabs and Splice Plates For systems that make use of several data acquisition modules, stacking units together conserves space and simplifies cable runs. Such stacking can be facilitated with dual-lock tabs or splice palates. • Dual-lock tabs. Dual-lock tabs, often referred to as Velcro, stacking modules together. -
Page 34: Using T-Cables
Using T-Cables Turn power OFF to the Daq devices and externally connected equipment while connecting cables and setting configuration jumpers and switches or before opening the lid. Electrical shock or damage to equipment can result even under low-voltage conditions. T-Cables are available in different lengths and can be used for linking two or more compatible devices together via the device’s 37-pin digital I/O connectors. -

Expansion and Terminal Panel Connection DBKs The following DBKs offer provide various expansion and connection options. The stackable 3-slot DBK10 low-profile enclosure can be used for up to three DBKs. If a system has more than 3 DBKs, the 10-slot DBK41 can be used. Several DBK41s can be daisy-chained to accommodate many DBKs in one system. - Page 39 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.

The DIN5 is the system’s basic power connector (see the following figure). The CA-115 is a 6-in. cable with a plug (male) DIN5 connector on both ends. The CA-115 is used to connect DBK32As [or DBK33s] in parallel when they are to be powered by the same power supply. DIN5 connectors for LogBook, DBK34, and DBK34A have threaded retaining rings. - Page 42 DBK32A - provides ±15 VDC @ 500 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.
