(1) the WaveBook/516E or WBK25 is already connected to the Ethernet, and (2) the associated
software from the data acquisition CD is installed. If needed, refer to the documents associated
with those devices.
STEP 1 – Connect the WBK40 or WBK41 to an Expansion Port on the WaveBook/516E
or on the WBK25
