 DaqScan/2000 

Series 

 

The DBK signal-conditioning cards and module are designed for use with DaqLabs, DaqScans, 

DaqBooks, LogBooks, and various types of data acquisition boards, i.e., ISA, PCI, and 

compact-PCI types.  The DBKs perform best when used with an acquisition device that can 

dynamically select channel, gain, and range.  DBK cards and modules with dynamic channel 

and gain/range selection allow for high channel-to-channel scan rates with a variety of 

transducers. 

Note:  Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, 

and the DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with Daq PC-Cards. 

DBK output signals can be bipolar, e.g., -5 to +5 V, or unipolar, e.g., 0 to 10 V.  The user can 

select a range of relevant values to correspond to the lowest signal (e.g., -5 or 0 V) and the 

highest signal (e.g., 5 or 10 V) signal.  This type of range selection guarantees the highest 

resolution in 12-bit or 16-bit conversion. 

The majority of these modules have their own power supply; however, several options exist 

for packaging and powering the DBKs.   

 

 

Reference Note: 

DBK options are detailed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual 

(p/n 457-0905). As a part of product support, the manual is automatically loaded 

onto your hard drive during software installation.  The default location is the 

Programs group, which can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.  A PDF 

version of the document can be read directly from the data acquisition CD via the 

introduction screen’s <View PDFs> button.
