The following table details how expansion channels are numbered in DaqView and LogView. API
Channels are used in Daq devices by third party programs. Note that API Channels are not used in
LogBook systems.

1Note: DaqView identifies channels for some DBKs (e.g., DBK4) with a 3-part
number for local channel, card, and sub-address.
2Note: In differential mode, only channels 0 to 7 are valid.
In addition to the base channel selection on JP1, many DBKs must be set to the sub-channel (or card)
number by a DIP-switch labeled SW1 or S1. Since DBKs vary in their channel capacity and identification,
refer to the respective DBK document modules.
Example. Refer to the above table (the 1-0 to 1-15 row) and to the following figure. To select channel 15
on a DBK card that is connected to base channel 1:
a) set the sequencer expansion address to 1111
b) set the base address to 0001
c) set JP1 to channel 1
d) Depending on the DBK, set the DIP-switch to identify one of
the multiple cards on a single channel.
The corresponding API channel number would be 47; i.e., DaqView Channel 1-15 (see table).
Note that API Channels are not used in LogBook systems.
