Measurement Computing WaveBook rev.5.3 - Manual (Page 23)

LEDs: There are 5 ETHERNET Status LEDS. Two rectangular LEDs (Tx and
Rx) are built into the frame of the Ethernet jack. The other three LEDs,
located just to the right of the jack, are round and are labeled L, T, and
D.
Tx – “ON” indicates traffic is being transmitted (see figure at right).
Rx – “ON” indicates that the port is receiving traffic.
L (Link) “ON” indicates a link exists. “OFF” indicates no link.
T (BaseT) “ON” indicates 100BaseTx, “OFF” indicates 10BaseT.
D (Duplex) “ON” indicates full duplex, which allows simultaneous two-
way data traffic. “OFF” indicates half-duplex, which only
allows one-way data traffic at any given time.
Tx and Rx LEDs
EXPANSION PORTS [1, 2, and 3]: used to expand the system with up to three additional devices.
Each Expansion Port can be used to connect the WaveBook/516E to the PARALLEL PORT connector of
a WaveBook/516A, WaveBook/512A, WaveBook/516, WBK40, or WBK41.
POWER Switch: A rocker-type switch with a “0” label for Power Off, and a “1” for Power On.
POWER IN: +10 VDC to +30 VDC, through a socket type DIN5 connector on the chassis.
Power is typically supplied from a TR-40U power adapter.
POWER OUT: +10 VDC to +30 VDC, through a socket type DIN5 connector on the chassis.
Power can be supplied from the WaveBook/516E to another device in the system, in which case, the
power cable would connect the receiving device’s POWER IN DIN5 connector. A current limit of 5
amps is not to be exceeded.
Calculate system amp load prior to creating a system daisy-chain. Although WaveBook
device connectors and CA-115 power cables have 5 amp limits, TR-40Us are limited to
2.2 amps. Tables for determining amp load are provided in an upcoming section,
entitled Calculating the System Power Requirement.
SYNC (Qty of 2) – Two “synchronization ports” provide a means of synchronizing up to four
WaveBook “A” and/or “E” units in regard to post-trigger scanning. The ports accept CA-74-1 (1 foot)
and CA-74-5
(5 foot) cables. Both are 6-conductor RJ-11 cables.
Up to four units can be synchronized. The total combined length of the SYNC cables is
not to exceed 15 feet (4.57 m).
EXPANSION CONTROL: The HD15 EXPANSION CONTROL connector provides a means of
connecting a control output signal [from the WaveBook/516E] to the 15HD EXPANSION CONTROL IN
connector of the first WBK expansion device in the system. Expansion Control signal lines can be daisy-
chained, as will be seen in upcoming system examples.
EXPANSION SIGNAL IN: This BNC connector provides a way for the WaveBook/516E to receive
return signals from the EXPANSION SIGNAL OUT BNC connector of the first WBK expansion device
in the system. Expansion Signal lines can be daisy-chained, as will be seen in upcoming system
examples.
