Wave engine voltage

[goggs29]

If I use my wave engine to power my control 2 with a bus cable and 2 terminators installed this is the voltage reading on the wave engine, is negative bus voltage ok?

Yes, that indicates that the Wave Engine is supplying current to the bus rather than drawing current from the bus. So in this case the WE is supplying 77 mA to run the Control 2.

So, if you run power supply to your wave engine and power a control 4 from the wave engine, you need 2 terminators ? one on the open buss connection on the wave engine, and one on the open buss on the control 4 ??

The terminators don't really relate to power, they are used to ensure the reliability of the data. In any collective it is always best to have 2 terminators, one on each end. But one is always required.
