Signal Aspects, WavePort/V
WavePort/V24 can measure up to 24 channels of voltages within ±10V. The V8 and V16 version WavePorts measure up to 8
and 16 channels, respectively. WavePort/V24 receives its channel-input signals through three columns of eight BNC
connectors (24 channel inputs total). The columns are labeled [from left to right] MODULE 2, MODULE 1, and
WAVEBOOK. In addition to the channel-input BNCs, WAVEBOOK contains a BNC for PULSE Trigger Input (see
following figure). Note that WavePortV8 and V16 BNC panels are illustrated in chapter 2.
The signal panel includes a DB25 connector for DIGITAL I/O, EXT CLOCK (external clock), and TTL TRIGGER.
Connection nodes for CHASSIS (ground) and ANALOG COMMON are also provided.

Reference Notes: Additional information regarding WavePort signal connections appears elsewhere in this
manual. Chapter 6, WaveView, includes information regarding channel configuration.
Information regarding maintenance, intended environment, and transportation is included in chapter 9.
Specifications are provided in chapter 10.
Software Setup
You will need to set several parameters so WaveView can best meet your application requirements. For
software setup information, refer to the "Software Setup" section in Chapter 2, WaveBook Setup. For
detailed WaveView information, refer to Chapter 5, WaveView.
