Dedicated Network - making use of a network hub or switch In the following figure a DaqLab/2000 Series device is connected to the Ethernet through a network hub/switch. At least one computer is also connected to the hub. DaqScan/2000 series devices can be connected directly to the hub/switch in the same manner. Dedicated Network using a Hub/Switch Some network devices such as a wireless access point may act as a DHCP server.
Notes: Using a DaqLab/2000 Series or DaqScan/2000 Series device on a typical LAN may affect the speed of the network and internet data transfer. Because of this we recommend adding a network card to the computer and using one of the two dedicated network configurations.
STEP 4 – Power-up the System What you will need: A 90 to 240 VAC power supply. Your unit’s power supply cord. How to make the connection: In the following steps we use the term “Daq Device” to mean a DaqLab/2000 Series device or DaqScan/2000 Series device as applicable to your system.
STEP 5 – Configure the Computer’s Network Settings [Applies to “dedicated networks” only] If using a LAN (Local Area Network), which has a DHCP server, skip this section and continue with STEP 7 - Configure and Test the System using the Daq*Configuration Applet (page 6-10).

Configure the Computer’s TCP/IP settings as follows. Make sure that each computer on the dedicated network has a unique IP address. Make sure that the IP address of the acquisition device is also unique. The computer and the device cannot use the same IP address. Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties 6.
1. Locate the DaqIPConfig Applet. Locate the DaqIPConfig applet by navigating from the Windows’ Desktop as follows: Start Menu ⇒ Programs ⇒ Omega DaqX Software ⇒ DaqIPConfig 2. Open the DaqIPConfig Applet. Click on the DaqIPConfig selection to open the applet.
Page 40
STEP 7 – Configure and test the System using the Daq* Configuration Applet The Daq* Configuration applet, designed for 32-bit Windows NT/2000/XP systems, is located in the Windows Control Panel. It allows you to add or remove a device and change configuration settings.

Users of Dedicated Networks follow these 2 steps. a. Enter the Serial Number of the first-level device, e.g., DaqLab/2001. In the following screen shots the Serial Number is 800069. b. Select the “Auto IP Setting” radio button. Note that the IP Address of the DaqLab/2001 will automatically be calculated and displayed in the IP Address field as indicated in the following left-hand figure.

For clarification, terms used in some Declarations of Conformity include: • pollution degree: any addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid or gaseous (ionized gases) that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity. Pollution Degree I has no influence on safety and implies: the equipment is at operating temperature with non-condensing humidity conditions;...
Page 45
CE Enhancements for DBKs The following CE enhancements are detailed in the DBK Cards and Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905). • DBK41/CE • Edge Guard (for DBK5, DBK8, and DBK44) • Applicable cables and connectors CE Compliance for System Expansion The Daq devices are CE compliant at the time they leave the factory, and will remain in compliance providing that the conditions stated on their respective Declaration of Conformity cards continue to be met.
Page 46
Noise Considerations Controlling electrical noise is imperative because it can present problems even with the best measurement equipment. Most laboratory and industrial environments suffer from multiple sources of electrical noise. For example, AC power lines, heavy equipment (particularly if turned on and off frequently), local radio stations, and electronic equipment can create noise in a multitude of frequency ranges.
Taking Measurements Introduction …… 8-1 Scanning …… 8-1 Triggering …… 8-2 Synchronous I/O Operations…… 8-3 Asynchronous I/O Operations …… 8-5 Synchronizing Multiple Units …… 8-6 Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning ….. 8-8 Introduction With signal lines connected and a system up and running you can begin acquiring data. Specific connector details and pinouts are provided in chapter 4.
Triggering Triggering can be the most critical aspect of acquiring data. DaqScan/2000 Series devices support a full complement of trigger modes to accommodate a wide variety of applications. Hardware Analog Triggering. Many data acquisition products claim analog triggering, but rely on the PC to take readings and make a decision, which leads to uncertain and potentially long latencies.
Pre- and Post-Triggering Modes. Six modes of pre- and post-triggering are supported, providing a wide variety of options to accommodate any measurement requirement. When using pre-trigger, the user must use software-based triggering to initiate an acquisition. • No pre-trigger, post-trigger stop event. This, the simplest of modes, acquires data upon receipt of the trigger, and stops acquiring upon receipt of the stop- trigger event.
Page 50
Channel Sampling Interval In regard to analog input, DaqScan/2001 and DaqScan/2005 allow for programmable sampling intervals of 5 us, 10 us, or 1000 us on a per channel basis. This mode allows some DBK expansion channels [that change slowly for a higher degree of accuracy] to be sampled at a longer interval, and channels that change more rapidly to be sampled at a shorter interval.
Synchronous Output Data Source (DaqScan/2001 and DaqScan/2004 only) DaqScan/2001 and DaqScan/2004 allow the data source for synchronized DAC output operations to be that of an internal memory-based buffer. The output data, for all channels, is contained in the buffer. Asynchronous I/O Operations Each DaqScan/2000 Series device allows asynchronous input of any counter or digital channel that is not currently configured for synchronous acquisition.
Synchronizing Multiple Units Up to four DaqScan/2000 Series devices can be synchronized to each other via their rear panel SYNC connectors and associated cables. Each device has two identical SYNC ports; either [or both] can be used to connect units. The DaqScan units can be scan-synchronized and triggered from any other SYNC-connected unit.
Page 53
In regard to synchronization, the following applies: • One of three signals can be used to drive the DaqScan/2000 Series acquisition scan rate. These are: − the internal acquisition pacer clock − an external acquisition pacer clock (for DaqScan/2001 and /2005 only) −...
Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning 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.
DaqCal is installed automatically from your data acquisition CD as a part of product support. This takes place during software installation. DaqCal’s default location is the Omega DaqX Software folder, in the Programs group. 2. When DaqCal opens you will be prompted to select your device from a list. After doing so, simply follow the illustrated on-screen instructions.

Differential mode Differential mode voltage refers to a voltage difference between two signals that are referenced voltage to a common point. Example: Signal 1 is +5 VDC referenced to common. Signal 2 is +6 VDC referenced to common. If the +5 VDC signal is used as the reference, the differential mode voltage is +1 VDC (+ 6 VDC - +5 VDC = +1 VDC).
