CAUTION
An incorrect use of power can damage equipment or degrade performance. Prior to
connecting your devices to power, calculate your system’s power requirements.
Note: StrainBook/616 can use up to seven WBK16 modules for system expansion. As stated in the above
Caution, you will need to calculate system power requirements prior to powering the system.
Memory Expansion using a WBK30 Memory Option
WBK30 is a DRAM-based memory board option that can be installed inside the StrainBook/616. There
are three models of WBK30 available; each of which significantly increases the capacity of the
StrainBook’s standard data buffer of 64 K samples. Capacities are:
WBK30/16 — 16 MB (8 M samples)
WBK30/64 — 64 MB (32 M samples)
WBK30/128 — 128 MB (64 M samples)
If the option is selected for StrainBook/616, it must be installed at the factory.
The WBK30 memory option card is installed at the factory per customer order.
Users are not to remove or install the WBK30 as it is not a “plug-and-play” device
for StrainBook/616 and erroneous signal values could result.
If you desire to remove or add a memory card to the StrainBook contact the factory
or your service representative. Please have the serial number of your StrainBook on
hand.
Note that you can use the Daq Configuration applet to check whether or not your StrainBook has a
WBK30 and if so, whether or not the memory card is working properly. Appendix B provides details.
