WBK Option Cards and Modules
WaveBook operation can be enhanced by the use of various WBK option cards and modules. A brief
synopsis of each option follows, while more detailed information is provided in the WBK Options User’s
Manual (p/n 489-0902). A PDF version of the document is located on the data acquisition CD. The
location of WBK card options [internal to WaveBook] are illustrated in the following figure. The board
layout includes header locations that the cards plug in to.
A Standard PGA Board, WBK11A,
WBK12A, or WBK13A option card
connects to J11 and J10 headers
on the WaveBook’s circuit board.
(See Notes 1 and 2)
The WBK30 memory
option connects to J101.

Locations of WBK Option Card Connection Headers
You can use various modules and option cards to expand your WaveBook system. These WaveBook options
are known as WBKs. Internally, WaveBook has room for one signal-conditioning card. Externally, you can
use one or more expansion modules.
For WaveBook/516E, selected WBK card options must be installed at the factory. For other WaveBook
models, the WBK30 card option can be installed by the user; however, other option cards must be factory-
installed.
Note 1: WaveBook/516E Users
WBK option cards for WaveBook/516E are installed at the factory per customer order.
Users are not to remove or install cards for these products as the cards are not “plug-and-
play” for these devices and erroneous signal values could result. If you desire to remove or
add a card to WaveBook/516E contact the factory or your service representative.
Note 2: WaveBook/516, /516A, /512A, and WBK10A Users
With exception of the WBK30 option, WBK option cards for WaveBook/516, /516A, /512A,
and WBK10A are installed at the factory per customer order. Users are not to remove or
install cards for these products [other than WBK30 series cards] as the cards are not “plug-
and-play” for these devices and erroneous signal values could result. If you desire to remove
or add a card to these products (other than WBK30) contact the factory or your service
representative.
