Connecting the Signals
This chapter describes the connection of a standard parallel port device to
the rear panel transparent parallel port connector and describes how to
make signal connections to the DAQPad-MIO-16XE-50 using the
DAQPad-TB-52.
DAQPad-TB-52 Terminal Block
The DAQPad-TB-52 is a detachable terminal block with 52 screw
terminals designed to interface with the DAQPad-MIO-16XE-50.
Figure 3-1 illustrates the 52 screw terminals and their corresponding signal
assignments. The fuse labeled
F1
or
+5 V FUSED
limits the +5 V power
output current. The fuse labeled
F2
or
SPARE
is placed on the terminal
block for your convenience in case of accidental fusing of fuse F1.
The slide switch labeled
IEX
turns external current excitation on and off.
A signal description follows the terminal block layout.
Note
If you do not need external current excitation but want to perform cold-junction
sensor measurements, you must keep the slide switch in the OFF position.
