In addition to the included out-of-the-box software, Daq products can be controlled via user-written custom programs through Applications Program Interface (API). Several languages are supported, including C/C++ and VisualBASIC. DaqView and DASYLab can only be used with one DaqBoard at a time. LabView can be used with multiple boards.
Page 26
Theory of Operation for DaqBoard/1000 and /2000 Series Boards As implied by the following matrix, the operational material does not apply globally to every board. For example, DaqBoard/1005, /2002, and /2005 have no analog output channels. For ease of understanding, each board is discussed independently, following the matrix. Note that pinouts are provided in chapter 2 for the DaqBoard/1000 Series and in chapter 3 for the DaqBoard/2000 Series.
Page 27
Synchronous Input Operations for DaqBoard/1000 and DaqBoard/2000 Series Boards As indicated in the I/O matrix, applicable DaqBoards allow for synchronous scanning and acquisition of Analog Input, Digital Input and Counter Input Data at up to 200kHz aggregate scanning rates. For applicable DaqBoard/2000 Series devices, the Analog Input data can be either directly to the board or from expansion analog input modules connected to P1.
Page 28
Synchronous Output Operations The DaqBoard/1000 allows synchronous output of any D/A channels available at up to 100kHz for each channel. All D/A channels available may have output streamed to them and clocked out synchronously. The D/A channels may be configured for waveform output. The DaqBoard/2000 Series boards allow synchronous output of any D/A or P3 16-bit Digital channels available at up to 100kHz for each channel.
Page 29
Expansion Digital I/O (DaqBoard/2000 Series only) The DaqBoard/2000 Series boards that have digital I/O capabilities have the ability to expand these through the P2 port and the connection of applicable digital I/O expansion modules. These modules are discussed in the DBK Option Cards & Modules User’s Manual. When using the digital I/O expansion modules the local P2 Intel 8255 digital I/O becomes inaccessible in lieu of the expansion modules.

Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning The DBK signal-conditioning cards and module are designed for use with 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.

Glossary Acquisition A collection of scans acquired at a specified rate as controlled by the sequencer. A signal of varying voltage or current that communicates data. Analog Analog-to-Digital A circuit or device that converts analog values into digital values, such as binary bits, for use in digital computer processing.
Page 87
Digital-to-Analog A circuit or device that converts digital values (binary bits), into analog signals. Converter (DAC) A DIP switch is a group of miniature switches in a small Dual In-line Package (DIP). Typically, DIP switch users set these switches to configure their particular application. The differential mode measures a voltage between 2 signal lines for a single channel.
Page 88
Trigger An event to start a scan or mark an instant during an acquisition. The event can be defined in various ways; e.g., a TTL signal, a specified voltage level in a monitored channel, a button manually or mechanically engaged, a software command, etc. Some applications may use pre- and post-triggers to gather data around an instant or based on signal counts.
