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. If connecting your DaqBook to a desktop PC (with no available
EPP port), you can use a WBK21 Interface card. Refer to separate
instructions (supplied with the WBK21) if applicable.
Reference Note: It is possible to use a different VDC power source (instead of the adapter); however, you should
consult the Power Management Section of your user’s manual before doing so.
