Analog Signal Conditioning DBKs 

The DBKs that are used for analog signal conditioning attach to transducers and condition their outputs 
into analog voltages.   An A/D converter, located in the primary acquisition device, measures the analog 
voltages.  There are many signal-conditioning solutions available (and more are in development).  Note 
that DBK high-capacity modules require more circuitry than can fit on a compact card.
