DaqBook/2000 Series Devices 
If using power from AC mains (through adapter), you need not worry about Daq device power use. If using 
battery-power, you can compute operational endurance from the battery’s watt×hr rating and power tables. 
DaqBook/2000 Series devices use no power from the PC, but do require DC voltage from an AC-to-DC 
adapter with a supply range of +10 VDC to +30 VDC, or another suitable DC source. 
Various AC adapter models support power grids of USA, Europe, Japan, and Asia.
