WaveBook/516 with Optional Clock and External Trigger Cable (CA-178)
Pulse Trigger Connection (WaveBook/516 Series Only)
To the right of the 8 BNC connectors for analog inputs, the WaveBook/516 series provides one additional
BNC connector for pulse trigger (see previous figure). This high-bandwidth input enables the triggering
and hence the correlation of lower-speed waveforms with the occurrence of a high-speed anomaly. With
pulse trigger, the user defines a pulse amplitude between +5 and -5 volts, and a pulse width between
100 ns and 800 ms.
System Testing
Windows 95/98/NT WaveBook Configuration
The Daq Configuration applet, designed for 32-bit Windows 95/98/NT systems, is located in the Windows
Control Panel. It allows you to add or remove a device and change configuration settings. The included
test utility provides feedback on the validity of current configuration settings, as well as performance
summaries.
Device Inventory Dialog Box
Run the applet by double-clicking on the Daq Configuration icon in the Windows Control Panel.
The Device Inventory dialog box will open, displaying all currently configured devices. Displayed devices
show their name and an icon to identify the device type. If no devices are currently configured, no devices
will appear in this field.
The four buttons across the bottom of the dialog box are used as follows:
• Properties: Current configuration settings for a device can be changed by first bringing up the
corresponding Properties dialog box. Open the Properties dialog box by double-clicking on the device
icon or selecting the device and then clicking on the Properties button.
