vbSeries Instrument Connections
The top panel of the instrument is equipped with the following connection interfaces.
- Ethernet port. Connects to a standard 8P8C ('RJ45') male plug terminator
- Charger power socket (12 Volt 3 Amp input). This may be used to power the instrument and/or to charge the instrument's battery pack
- USB socket. Provides a data connection between the instrument and the Ascent host computer
- BNC sensor input (Channel 1)
- BNC sensor input (Channel 2) OR LEMO seven-pin input* (Channels 2 to 4)
- LEMO four-pin tachometer input
* This feature is only available on vb6 and vb8 instrument models
Note: The comms and charger area's protective rubber gasket should be kept closed and in place when collecting data in the field. Doing so will help maintain the environmental sealing of the instrument case.
