Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning
The DBK signal-conditioning cards and modules are designed for use with DaqLab, DaqScan,
DaqBook, LogBook, and various 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,
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.
DBK modules share the same footprint as the DaqBook and a typical notebook PCs; allowing
for convenient stacking. The majority of these modules have their own power supply;
however, several options exist for packaging and powering the DBKs.
