WaveBook/512A, /516, and /516A Front Panels
The front panel for each of these three units includes the following connectors and LED indicators.
Analog Common – banana jack receptacle
Channels 1 through 8 –BNC connectors; Channel 1 is also used for Analog Trigger
Pulse Trigger – BNC connector
Digital I/O, External Clock, TTL Trigger – DSUB25 Connector
LEDs: ACTIVE – Lights when a sample has been converted by the A/D Converter.
READY – Lights when an appropriate parallel port protocol has been established with the unit.
POWER – Lights when power is turned on and is present.
WaveBook/512A, /516, and /516A Rear Panels
[WaveBook/516A Rear Panel Shown]
Note: WaveBook/516 has no SYNC ports. In their place is a DB25S connector that serves
as a printer pass-through.
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) – “A” and “E” units only. Two “synchronization ports” provide a means of
synchronizing up to four WaveBook “A” and/or “E” units in regard to post-trigger scanning. The SYNC
ports accept CA-74-1 and CA-74-5 cables. Both are 6-conductor, RJ-11 cables.
Note: WaveBook/516 has no SYNC ports. In their place is a DB25S connector that serves as a printer
pass-through.
Up to four units can be synchronized. The total combined length of the SYNC cables is
not to exceed 15 feet (4.57 m).
