Product Overview
StrainBook/616 is a portable strain gage measurement system that connects to a PC’s Ethernet port. Each
unit includes 8 built-in channels for strain measurement and can be expanded to measure up to 64 channels.
Expansion is accomplished via optional WBK16 strain gage modules.
For applications requiring more than 64 channels, multiple StrainBook/616 units can be combined and
synchronized to obtain a virtually limitless number of channels. In addition to strain measurement,
StrainBook/616 is capable of measuring voltage, temperature, vibration, and sound with the use of other
WBK signal conditioning options.
StrainBook/616 is shipped with WaveView software. WaveView allows for set-up, data-acquisition, real-
time display, and storage to disk. No programming knowledge is needed.
