Option boards to customize your data logger

Option boards can be used to add additional inputs/features to an ML-417 data logger or to perform signal conditioning. You can mechanically stack up to 3 option boards, but only one board per category ID (CID). Some boards come with a switch to choose a different CID, so you can stack multiple similar boards.

Converter(OC) or Power (OP) boards don’t have CID’s and you can stack as many OC/OP-boards as mechanical feasible. OC-boards don’t make use of the internal control bus, but are wired to existing inputs/outputs/ports.

For detailed info, please consult the option board manual.
