2-2 An Introduction to WaveBook 05-22-01 WaveBook User’s Manual
How do the different WaveBook models compare with each other?
The WaveBook series presently includes three main unit models: WaveBook/512, WaveBook/512H, and
WaveBook/516. Each provides 1 MHz sampling and supports the WBK options described shortly.

For WaveBook512, the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and SINAD values shown apply to the –5 to +5 V range.
For WaveBook512H and /516, the THD and SINAD values apply to the –10 to +10 V range.
2 Unipolar ranges do not apply to WaveBook/512H or WaveBook/516 when a WBK11, WBK12, or WBK13 is installed.
