DBK200
Overview
DaqBoard/2000 Series and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards communicate [external from the host PC]
through a 100-pin P4 connector. The DBK200 P4-to-P1 adapter board provides a DB37 P1 connector. P1
is used for ANALOG 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
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 (Œ) prior to mating the P4 connectors.
