WBK15, 5B Isolated Signal Conditioning Module 988396 WBK15, pg. 5
Fastener panels will partially block the vents on WBK16, WaveBook/516, and
WaveBook/516A when stacked. This partial blocking of vents does not jeopardize the
cooling process.
Software Setup
You will need to set several parameters so WaveView can best meet your application requirements.
For detailed WaveView information, refer to the WaveView Document PDF.
After the 5B module type is identified, WaveView figures out the m and b (of the mx+b equation) for
proper engineering units scaling. An example of the mx + b equation follows shortly.
Reference Note:
➣
For detailed WaveView information, refer to the WaveView Document PDF.
➣
The API does not contain functions specific to WBK15. Refer to related material in the
Programmer’s Manual (p/n 1008-0901) as needed.
PDF Note: During software installation, Adobe ® PDF versions of user manuals automatically install onto
your hard drive as a part of product support. The default location is in the Programs group,
which can be accessed from the Windows Desktop. Refer to the PDF documentation for details
regarding both hardware and software. Note that you can also access PDF documents directly
from the data acquisition CD via the button on the CD’s opening screen.
WaveView Configuration Main Window
mX +b, an Example
The Customize Engineering Units dialog box can be
accessed via the WaveView Configuration main
window by activating the Units cell [for the desired
channel], then clicking to select mX+b.
From the Customize Engineering Units dialog box
(see figure at right), you can enter values for m and b
components of the equation that will be applied to
the data. There is also an entry field that allows you
to enter a label for the new units that may result from
the mX+b calculation.
An example of mX + b equation use follows.
