Example 2: Two WaveBook/516A Sub-Systems Connected via a WBK25 Ethernet Interface Module
This system example consists of two WaveBook/516A Systems, one located beneath a WBK25 Ethernet Module
and the other system above it. For this reason there are two lists of lines and cables used, i.e., a list for each sub-
system.

st WaveBook/516A Sub-System -- Includes the WBK25 Ethernet Module and the 3 components above it.
1. Power Supply - To the first WaveBook/516A’s POWER IN DIN 5 connector, +10 VDC to
+30 VDC, typically from a TR-40U power adapter.
2. Power Supply – To the WBK17’s POWER IN DIN 5 connector, +10 VDC to +30 VDC, typically
from a TR-40U power adapter.
3. Power Supply – From the WBK17’s POWER OUT DIN 5 connector to the first WBK10A’s
POWER IN DIN 5 connector via a CA-115 power cable.
4. Expansion Control – From the first WaveBook/516A’s EXPANSION CONTROL to the
WBK17’s EXPANSION CONTROL IN. Connection is via a 15-pin CA-129 cable.
5. Expansion Control – From the WBK17’s EXPANSION CONTROL OUT to the first WBK10A’s
EXPANSION CONTROL IN. Connection is via a 15-pin CA-129 cable.
6. Expansion Signal – From the first WBK10A’s EXPANSION SIGNAL OUT to the WBK17’s
EXPANSION SIGNAL IN. Connection is via a BNC coaxial CA-150 cable.
7. Expansion Signal – From the WBK17’s EXPANSION SIGNAL OUT to the first
WaveBook/516A’s EXPANSION SIGNAL IN. Connection is via a BNC coaxial CA-150 cable.
8. Expansion – From the first WaveBook/516A’s PARALLEL PORT to the WBK25 Ethernet
Interface Module’s EXPANSION PORT 1. The connection is made via a 25-pin CA-35-12 cable.
9. Synchronization – From the first WaveBook/516A’s SYNC jack to a SYNC jack on the second
WaveBook/516A. The connection is made via a CA-74-1 cable.
10. Ethernet – From the WBK25’s ETHERNET jack to a 10/100BaseT Ethernet Network or to the
ETHERNET jack on a PC. Applicable Ethernet patch cables (1.5-foot or 7-foot) are CA-242 and
CA-242-7, respectively.
11. Digital Expansion – This connection is made on the channel input side of the units. The cable
runs from the first WaveBook/516A’s DIGITAL I/O / EXTERNAL CLOCK / TTL TRIGGER
connector to the WBK17’s IN-DIGITAL EXPANSION connector (HD26 type). The connection is
made via a
CA-217 Digital Expansion Cable.
