Measurement Computing WaveBook rev.5.3 - Manual (Page 79)

Each of the following options are detailed in product-dedicated document modules. Note that the items represented in
the table are not necessarily shown to the same scale.
WBK10A
Analog Expansion Module
8 Channels via BNC Connectors
Each WBK10A module can be used to provide WaveBook with 8
additional differential-analog-inputs. The modules are equipped with
a programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGA) and, like the
WaveBook, each has a built-in expansion bus.
Up to eight WBK10A modules can be cascaded together for a system
capacity of 72 differential channels. Each module is capable of
supporting a WBK11A, WBK12A, or a WBK13A option card.
WBK11A
Simultaneous Sample & Hold Card (8 channels)
The WBK11A card can simultaneously sample 8 channels and can
be installed inside a WaveBook or in a WBK10A module. The cards
allow for concurrent (<150 ns) capture of multiple input channels and
virtually eliminate channel-to-channel time skewing.
Note: Use of this card requires factory installation.
WBK12A
Programmable Low-Pass Filter Card
(8 channels)
WBK13A
Programmable Low-Pass Filter Card with SSH
(8 channels)
The WBK12A and WBK13A are 8-channel programmable low-pass
filter cards for use with WaveBook data acquisition systems. These
cards install directly into a WaveBook or WBK10A module and
provide programmable low-pass filtering over all channels. Multiple
WBK12A and WBK13A cards can be installed in one system for up to
72 channels. All of the cards’ low-pass filters and cutoff frequencies
are configured via software.
WBK13A cards have the additional capability of sampling all
channels at the same time.
Note: Use of these cards requires factory installation.
WBK14
Dynamic Signal Conditioning Module
8 Channels via BNC Connectors
The WBK14 is a dynamic analog signal input module. It enables
WaveBooks to interface with piezoelectric transducers that include
accelerometers, microphones, and force/pressure transducers.
Each WBK14 channel has a:
•
•
•
•
•
current source for transducer biasing
high-pass filter
programmable gain amplifier
anti-aliasing low-pass filter
simultaneous sample-and-hold (SSH) amplifiers
WBK15
8-Slot 5B Signal Conditioning Module
8 channels via 5B Modules
The WBK15 module provides for a diverse range of signals available
through optional 5B modules. Measurement types include: LVDT,
potentiometer, isolated current loop, ±10mV to ±40V inputs, linearized
RTD, thermocouple, frequency-to-voltage, and strain gage.
See latest catalog or contact your sales representative in regard to the
types of 5B Modules available for your application.
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.
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.
