   OMB-DaqBook User’s Manual 

 

 

 

If connecting your DaqBook to a notebook PC

, 

you can use a WBK20A, PCMCIA Interface Card.  
Refer to separate instructions (supplied with the 
WBK20A) if applicable. 

If connecting your DaqBook to a desktop PC (with no 
available EPP port),

 you can use a WBK21 Interface 

card.  Refer to separate instructions (supplied with the 
WBK21) if applicable. 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Reference Note:

  It is possible to use a VDC power source other than an AC-to-DC adapter. 

Both the DBK Basics document module (included in this manual) and the DBK Option Cards 
and Modules User’s Manual contain power-related information.  The DBK manual is installed 
on your hard drive during software installation.  The default location is the 

Programs

 

directory. 

 

(4) Install Software and Product Support Documentation 

1.

 

Remove 

previous version Daq drivers, if present.  You can do this through Microsoft’s 

Add/Remove

 

Programs

 feature. 

2.

 

Place the Data Acquisition CD into the CD-ROM drive. 

Wait for PC to auto-run the CD.  This may 

take a few moments, depending on your PC.  

If the CD does not auto-run, use the Desktop’s 

Start/Run/Browse feature. 

3.

 

After the intro-screen appears, follow the screen prompts. 
 

Upon completing the software installation, continue with step 5,
