The Resource Test consists of two components: Resource Tests and Performance Tests.
Appendix B, TCP/IP and Resource Tests, includes a brief explanation of each.
When testing a StrainBook/616, if the unit does not respond after 30 seconds perform the
following steps:
1) reboot the system
2) upon power-up, re-open the Daq Configuration applet
3) select another configuration setting
4) reinitiate the test
This completes the procedure for connecting a StrainBook/616 to the Ethernet. At this point you should refer
to other sections of the manual, e.g., information on system expansion and data acquisition.
Reference Notes:
Although the signal conditioning aspect of the WBK16 is inherent in the StrainBook/616 and is
therefore discussed in this manual, specific WBK16 documentation is contained within the
WBK Options Manual (p/n 489-0902).
Note: You can access PDF documents directly from the opening screen of the data acquisition CD
via the <View PDFs> button.
