DBK209
P4-to-P1/P2/P3 Mini-adapter Board

Overview
DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series Boards communicate [external from the host PC] through a
100-pin P4 connector. Typically a DBK200 Series P4-adapter is used to provide one or more DB37
connectors (P1, P2, P3). The DBK200 Series also includes a few panel-mount card options that connect
directly to the P4 connector via a cable.
The DBK209 is a mini-adapter board suitable for both analog and digital expansion. The board provides
three DB37 connectors (P1, P2, and P3). DBK209 connects to DaqBook/2000 Series Device,DaqBoard/2000 Series Board or /2000c Series Board P4 connector via a CA-195 cable.
Other than the form factor, DBK209 is identical to DBK201.
Note: The P1, P2, and P3 connectors discussed in association with DaqBook/2000 Series devices,
DaqBoard/2000 Series boards and cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series boards are subset connectors of the100-pin P4 connector that is located on those boards. Chapter 2, System Connections and Pinouts,
includes pinouts for P1, P2, P3, and P4.

Connections
CAUTION
Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting
cables or signal lines to the DBK. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable). Ensure boards do not come into
contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.
Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1, P2 I/Os to P2,and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment damage.
Be sure to align the P4 orientation indicators () prior to mating the P4 connectors.

The following illustration and the actual board silkscreen are the only references you should need to makeproper connections.
