Omega Engineering OMB-DBK-34A, User Manual

Page: 65 / 250

The DBKs typically have a channel address set physically on the device, by either a
switch or a header. The channel designated in software must agree with the hardware
setting. Thus, in step 2 below, Channel 0 will only be used to select a specific DBK when
that DBK is physically set for Channel 0. Refer to the specific DBK section for more
information, if needed.
2. Under Analog I/O Option Cards External Connection , select the expansion down-arrow for the
chosen Daq Device channel, for example, P1 Channel 0 . A “drop-down” will list the available
analog DBK options.
An alternative to using the expansion down-arrow to access the external connection drop-
down list, is to click within the text box. For example, in the following figure, after clicking
on P1 Channel 0’s “Direct Signal Connection” text, the drop-down list appeared.

3. Select the applicable DBK card from the drop-down list.
If the card has jumper or switch setups that need to be set in DaqView, a related window will appear.
Three extracted examples follow: (a) Switch Settings: S1 Sub Address, (b) Switch Settings: SW6
(rotary), and (c) Shunt Settings: JP16 (3-pin shunt).

4. Set the software DIP-switch settings, shunt-settings, and so forth to match the hardware settings on the
actual DBK(s).
5. When all the channels and sub-addresses are set correctly, select OK to return to the DaqView main
screen.
6. From DaqView , complete the channel setup, acquisition setup, and data destination setup for each of
the new DBKs.
Reference Note :
If needed, refer to the DaqView documentation for more information. 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.
This completes the software setup for analog DBK options.
