Card Configuration 
The LogBook, DaqBook, and DaqBoard can each support up to eight DBK23s in a daisy-chain 
configuration using an accessory cable (see figure). Each unit is then configured via the on-board DIP 
switch (S1) for its unique base address. No more than one unit in a common chain may have the same S1 
setting. The table shows possible switch settings and addresses. The XI/O addresses can be used by 
programmers to access specific ports on specific cards. 
Software constants have been predefined in the API as follows: DdpExpnA; DdpExpnB; 
DdpExpnC. Where ānā is replaced by the card number shown in the address table; and 
A, B, or C is the port for that card.

DaqBook and DaqBoard Connection 
Connect the P2 digital I/O port of the DaqBook or DaqBoard [ISA type] or, for a DaqBoard/2000 Series 
board [except DaqBoard/2003] to an appropriate P4 adapter, to the P2 connector of the DBK23 using an 
accessory cable. Select up to 8 positions for a total of 192 programmable isolated inputs. 
Note that P4 adapters are discussed in the DBK200 Series document modules. 
DaqBoard/2000 Series Board Connection 
Use a 37 pin accessory cable to connect the P2 digital I/O port of an appropriated DaqBoard/2000 Series 
P4 adapter to DBK23ās P2. Note that you can select up to eight positions for a total of 192 programmable 
isolated inputs. 
P4 adapters are discussed in the DBK200 Series document modules. 
P2 expansion cables must be kept short for proper operation. 
Do not exceed 14ā per attached DBK card.
