PC-CARD-DAS16/16AO User's Guide 

Installing the PC-CARD-DAS16/16AO 

Cabling 

Measurement Computing offers two cables for connecting the PC-CARD-DAS16/16AO to a screw-type 
terminal board or other signal conditioning interface board: 

ƒ

 

The CPCC-50F-39 cable: 39 inches (990 mm) long; compatible with standard 50-pin screw terminal 
products.  

ƒ

 

The CPCC-50M-4 cable: four-inch long adapter cable; required when using a C50FF-x series cable.
