Overview
The DBK60 expansion chassis holds up to three analog DBK cards, or up to three digital DBK cards, and
provides termination panels with connectors for various sensors. Several DBK60 units can be linked
together and then to the primary acquisition device, e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard, or LogBook.
Splice plate kits can be used to stack multiple DBK60 units to the primary device.
