Setting Up Analog DBKs
If you have not already done so, review the applicable individual DBK section to ensure that the DBK
option is physically set as desired. Note that certain DBKs do not require configuration.
Understand your DBK’s physical configuration before attempting to set the device in
DaqView’s Hardware Configuration window. For example, if you were configuring a
DBK45 in DaqView, you would need to know the physical setup of rotary switch SW6
to properly set the address. To expedite the configuration, it is a good idea to have the
identity and setting information ready for each DIP-switch, rotary switch, and jumper,
as applicable.
Reference Note:
If you need to go beyond the basic software setup information that follows, refer to the
DaqView documentation. Note that you can access PDF versions of documents from the
data acquisition CD by using the <View PDFs> button on the CD’s intro page.
