What are WaveBooks?
WaveBooks are high-speed portable data acquisition devices that can be used in a variety of applications,
such as testing engine strain, multi-channel acoustics, mechanical integrity, and vibration/shock/strain.
WaveBook features include:
•
Power Options: Power can be supplied from an AC-to-DC adapter, battery, DBK30A rechargeable
battery module, DBK34 or DBK34A uninterruptible power supply modules.
•
Easy Connection to Notebook or Desktop PCs.
•
Analog Input Channels: BNC connectors keep input signals isolated from the chassis and commons.
•
High-Speed Digital Inputs: 8 high-speed digital inputs (16 for WaveBook/516).
•
Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Allows you to define a channel scan-sequence and associated gains
across all channels. Also provides for real-time digital calibration on a per-sample basis.
•
Programmable Scan Sequencing: A 128-location scan sequencer allows you to program the analog
channel scan sequence, the associated unipolar/bipolar A/D range, and the input amplifier gain.
WaveBook performs 1 MHz scanning and gain switching over both its built-in and expansion channels.
•
Single, or Multi-Channel Triggering
•
Pre- and Post-Trigger Readings
In addition to the features just listed, the following apply to WaveBook/516:
•
Digital-Pattern Trigger: Trigger occurs when a Digital I/O pattern is equal too, not-equal too, greater
than, or less than a user-defined 16-bit digital pattern. This is useful when trying to capture noise,
vibrations or some other physical disturbance that occurs at a particular point in a digitally-sequenced
process, such as a relay-logic-control system. Trigger latency of the digital pattern trigger is less than
200 ns for post-trigger acquisitions.
•
Pulse Trigger: Enables triggering and the correlation of lower-speed waveforms with the occurrence of
a user-defined, high-speed pulse.
•
20 kHz Low Pass Filter: Each of the eight channels has its own low pass, anti-alias filter.
•
External Clock Input: The external clock is useful when data collection depends on rotational speed
or axial position. Note that the external clock’s input can be reset to a slower rate.

An Introduction to WaveBook 2-5
How are WaveBook systems powered?
Input voltage to the WaveBook and to the system modules (WBK10 series, WBK14, WBK15, WBK16,
and WBK17) must be in the range of 10 to 30 VDC and can come from an appropriate AC-to-DC adapter,
or from a battery.
Available AC-to-DC adapters include the TR-40U (supplied), which has an input of 90-264 VAC and a
output rating of 2.2 amps @ 15 VDC.
Battery options include the DBK30A, DBK34A, or other 10 to 30 VDC source such as a car battery. The
DBK30A provides 14 VDC and when fully-charged has a storage capacity of 3.4 A⋅hr; car batteries have
much higher capacities. The basic formula for battery life is:
Runtime (hr) = Battery capacity (A⋅hr) / Current load (A)
System cards (WBK11, WBK12, or WBK13 series) get power from their WaveBook or WBK10/10H/10A
expansion module.
Before connecting your system to power, you need to know the power requirements of your specific system.
A calculation method, that incorporates the use of worktables, is presented in Chapter 3.
Reference Notes:
•
Chapter 3, System Setup and Power Options, includes examples of power connections for
different WaveBook system scenarios. In these examples the included TR-40U power
adapters are used.
•
Chapter 4, WaveBook Operation Reference, includes discussion of power supplies other
than the TR-40U.

Connecting the Communication Cable
WaveBook communicates with a notebook or desktop PC through the computer’s parallel port. Use of an
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or an Extended Capabilities P ort (ECP) is recommended.
Two card options are available for use with PCs that do not have Enhanced Parallel Ports. These are:
•
WBK20A PCMCIA/EPP interface-card, to be used in conjunction with
a notebook’s PC-Card port.
•
WBK21 ISA/EPP interface-card, for use with a desktop PC.
Both options are discussed in the WBK20A and WBK21 Document Module (included as a part of this
manual) and are shipped with additional documentation.
The CA-35-2 communication cable connects to the host PC through a 25 -pin connector , located o n
WaveBook’s rear panel. The WaveBook connector is labeled “TO COMPUTER.”
Connecting the Communication Cable (CA-35-2)
Reference Note:
For information regarding the optional WBK20A PCMCIA/EPP interface-card, or the
WBK21 ISA/EPP interface-card, refer to the documentation that is shipped with those
products. WBK20A connects to the notebook’s PC-Card port. WBK21 connects to a
desktop PC’s ISA slot. Both options are discussed briefly in the WBK20A and WBK21
Document Module.
System Enhancement and Expansion
Adding WBK Option Cards
This section pertains to adding a WBK11, WBK12, or WBK13 Series card to a WaveBook/512 or to a
WBK10, or WBK10H expansion module.
Important Notice Regarding the WaveBook/516 and the WBK10A
Cards for WaveBook/516 and WBK10A are installed at the factory per customer order.
Users are not to remove or install cards for these two products as the applicable cards are
not “plug-and-play” for these devices and erroneous signal values could result. If you
desire to remove or add a card to these products, contact your service representative.

WaveBook User’s Manual
The WBK Card connects to headers J10 and J11 in the base unit. The base unit can be a WaveBook/512,
WaveBook/512H, WBK10 or WBK10H. The jumpers located on J10 and J11 provide signal pass-through
when a WBK option card is not installed. Refer to the following figure and steps to install an option card
into a WaveBook/512, WBK10, or WBK10H module.
Although the figure represents installation of a WBK11 into a WaveBook/512, the method
used to install other WBK options into a WaveBook, WBK10, or WBK10H is the same.
Installing a WBK Option Card
:$51,1*
Electric shock hazard! Remove the WaveBook, and all devices connected to it, from
power before removing the cover plate. Failure to do so could result in electric shock
and possible death.
1. Remove all power from the unit and any connected devices.
2. For WaveBook/512 series, WBK10, or WBK10H, remove the screw holding down the top panel
(cover), and slide the panel out towards the back (see following figure).
For WaveBook/516 and WBK10A, contact the factory in regard to adding or replacing option
cards.
3. Remove the stand-off screws, then remove old WBK card from J10 and J11.
If no card was present, skip to step 4.
4. Locate the headers J10 & J11 on the main board, and remove the jumpers (if present).
Save the jumpers in the event the SSH board needs to be removed.
5. Align the WBK card headers (P11 & P10) with the host board headers (J11 & J10), respectively.
6. Verify alignment of the board. An easy way is to check that the board’s screw holes are in line with the
standoffs.
7. Carefully push the WBK option card do wn until the connectors fully mate.
8. Using three screws, secure the WBK card to the standoffs. Do not over-tighten.
9. Slide the top panel onto the unit, and secure it using the top panel screw.
