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 Used with WaveBook/516 Only
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
for use with Wavebook/516 systems. 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/516.
WBK20A WBK21
WBK20A – PCMCIA/EPP Interface Card
(for linking WaveBook to a Notebook PC)
WBK21 – ISA/EPP Interface Plug-in Board
(For linking WaveBook to a desktop PC)
These devices are shipped with separate documentation and are not
detailed in this manual; they are, however, discussed briefly in the
WBK20A and WBK21 Document Modules.
WBK30
WaveBook Memory Options
WBK30 is a DRAM-based memory board that installs inside a
WaveBook. There are three models of WBK30 available; each
significantly increases the capacity of WaveBook's standard data
buffer of 64 K samples. Capacities are as follows:
WBK30/16— 16 MB
WBK30/64— 64 MB
WBK30/128— 128 MB
WBK61 and WBK62
WBK61: High-Voltage Adapter with 200:1 Voltage
Divider (1 channel)
WBK62: High-Voltage Adapter with 20:1 Voltage
Divider (1 channel)
WBK61 and WBK62 are single-channel high-voltage adapters that
can be used with the WaveBook or WBK10/10H/10A expansion
modules. In addition, WBK61 and WBK62 can be used in conjunction
with WBK11, WBK12, and WBK13 series cards.
WBK61 and WBK62 include safety-style banana-jacks for the high
and low inputs, and 60-inch (152 cm) cables with probe tips and
alligator clips for easy input connection.
