An expansion module (PDQ1 or PDQ2) can be added to Personal Daq/55 and /56 units. Although an expansion module can physically connect to a Personal Daq/54, it will not function with the unit. Personal Daq/54 does not include expansion functionality. For Personal Daq/54 the 25-pin port is used only for calibration. - Page 6 Use Personal Daq’s screw terminals to connect channel inputs to your Personal Daq system. Note that the terminal blocks are detachable for ease in making connections. Personal Daq/54, /55, and /56 and PDQ expansion modules PDQ1 and PDQ2 have labels which clearly identify each input type and channel number.

This is especially true when acquiring other high- amplitude signals in conjunction with thermocouple signals that are connected single- ended.
