Hardware Setup
If using a DaqBook/200, DaqBook/216, DaqBoard/200A, or DaqBoard/216A that has a
serial number of 103350 or earlier, you must contact the factory for a hardware
upgrade (EO-1911) before using the DBK4.
Software calibration for each DBK4 requires a set of unique constants supplied on a
diskette identified by a serial number matching the DBK4 card. To install these
constants, follow instructions on the “readme” file included on the calibration disk.
Card Configuration
Factory Defaults
• Current Level – 4ma
• Coupling – 10 Hz
• Current Source – On
• 40Khz Filter – In-Line
Both hardware and software are used in configuration. This section focuses on the hardware. Jumpers and
switches are used to set: current source (current level and source enable/disable), filter bypass, signal
coupling, and channel addressing. It is best to remove power from the card to perform these selections.
The figure reveals the jumper and switch locations.
Note: The hardware jumper settings referenced in the following subsections are per-channel selections
unless otherwise specified.
