DaqBooks, DaqBoards and Daq PC-Cards
Daq products connect to one or more DBKs on their signal input side and a computer on their output side.
Each type of Daq device connects to the computer in a different way:
• A DaqBook/2000 Series product is a primary data acquisition device which resides external to a PC.
These devices connect directly to computer’s Ethernet port, or to an Ethernet network via a hub.
Note that early DaqBook models connected to a computer’s enhanced parallel port (EPP) interface or
connected to the PC by use of a PC-Card and cable.
• DaqOEM/2000 Series devices are DaqBook/2000 Series devices, minus the chassis.
• The DaqBoard [ISA type] board is an internal card that plugs into an ISA-bus slot within a
computer.
• DaqBoard/2000 Series boards plug into a PCI-bus slot, within a host PC. A variation of these
boards, the DaqBoard/2000c Series boards, plug into a compact-PCI-bus slot, within a compact
type host PC.
• The Daq PC-Card slides into the PCMCIA slot of a host computer, typically a notebook PC.
