User manual
User Output Configuration 
The outputs of the DBK24 are designed to switch levels as high as 60 V at 1 A. The next figure shows a 
typical output hookup with a protective flyback diode in parallel with the load. When driving inductive 
loads without built-in flyback protection, you must provide this diode. 
CAUTION 
Failure to provide adequate flyback protection may result in damage to 
the DBK24ās output stage. 
Each unit is 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. Below is a table of possible switch settings and 
addresses.

Software constants have been predefined in the DaqBook/DaqBoard driver language 
interface files for all languages as follows: DdpExpnA, DdpExpnB, DdpExpnC; where 
ānā is replaced by the card number in the address table; and A, B, or C is the port for 
that card. 
DaqBook and DaqBoard [ISA type] 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 
DBK24 using an accessory cable (with -x 
indicating the number of expansion units to be 
connected). Select up to 8 positions for a total of 
192 programmable isolated inputs.
