WBK16
Strain-Gage Module
8 channels via Standard Female DB9
WBK16 is an 8-channel strain-gage signal-conditioning module. Up to
eight WBK16 modules (64 channels) can be accommodated by the
WaveBook and scanned at 1 µs/channel. Almost all bridge
configurations are supported via a bridge-completion network and
software. High-gain differential-amplifier applications are also
supported. Software controls bridge configuration, gain, offset,
excitation voltage, polarity, filtering, and the calibration process.
WBK17
Counter-Input Module with Quadrature Encoder
Support
8 channels via Removable Screw Terminal Blocks
The WBK17 is an 8-channel multi-function counter/encoder module
for use with Wavebook/512A, /516, /516A, and /516E. Each of the
high-speed, 32-bit counter channels can be configured for counter,
period, pulse width, time between edges, or encoder modes. All
channels are capable of measuring analog inputs that are digitized by
the WaveBook.
WBK18
Dynamic Signal Conditioning Module with
Transducer Electronic Data Sheet support
(T.E.D.S).
8 channels via BNC Connectors
WBK18 provides 8 channels of dynamic signal input for WaveBook
systems. Each channel on the WBK18 has independent, software
control for AC or DC coupling, ICP biasing (0 or 4 mA), and low-pass
filter cut-off frequency. The 8-pole Butterworth filter on each channel
is programmable from 5 Hz to 50 kHz, in a 1-2-5 progression. The
filter can also be bypassed, resulting in a bandwidth of greater than
200 kHz.
WBK20A, WBK21, and WBK23 – Three Interface options that can be used to obtain an Enhanced Parallel Port.
WBK20A
PC-Card /EPP
Interface & Cable
WBK21
ISA/EPP Interface
Plug-in Board
WBK20A – PCMCIA/EPP Interface Card and Cable
For linking WaveBook to a Notebook PC. This interface
provides an Enhanced Parallel Port via a PC-Card Slot.
WBK21 – ISA/EPP Interface Plug-in Board
For linking WaveBook to a desktop PC. This interface
provides an Enhanced Parallel Port via an ISA Bus-slot.
WBK23
PCI/EPP Interface Plug-In Board
WBK23 – PCI/EPP Interface Plug-In Board
(For linking WaveBook to a desktop PC)
Provides an Enhanced Parallel Port from a PCI Bus-slot.
These three interfaces are shipped with separate documentation and
are not detailed in this manual.
WBK25
10/100BaseT Ethernet Interface Module
The WBK25 provides high-speed Ethernet connectivity for
WaveBook, DaqBook and WBK40 series products. The WBK25
contains one 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connection to a PC,
and three expansion ports that can attach to any model of
WaveBook, DaqBook, WBK40 Series option, or any combination
of these devices.
