2.1.4 USB Host Connector (for USB Flash Memory)
A standard USB type A connector is provided on the left hand side of
the instrument which is revealed by moving the sliding cover towards
the top of the instrument. This is intended exclusively for the
connection of a USB Flash memory stick. See section 8.1.2 for full
information.
2.1.5 USB Device Connector (for connection to a PC)
A USB type mini-B connector is provided on the left hand side of the
instrument which is revealed by moving the sliding cover towards the
base of the instrument. This is intended exclusively for connection to a
personal computer. See section 8.1.3 for full information.
2.1.6 Trigger Input/Output
A 3.5mm mono jack socket is mounted at the top of the instrument for trigger signals. This has
no function unless option U01 is fitted - see section 6.1.2. An adaptor is provided that converts
from the jack socket to a standard BNC connector.
2.2 Bench-top and Portable Use
The instrument is intended for both hand-held and bench-top applications. It has rubber feet for
horizontal or vertical use, or can be angled using the tilt stand.
2.2.1 Tilt Stand
The instrument is supplied with the tilt stand folded
away and magnetically latched at the bottom of the
instrument. It can be hinged outwards to tilt the unit at
an angle of about 40 degrees.
2.2.2 Screen Protector and Sun Shield
To protect the screen when in transit, the tilt stand can
be detached from the bottom of the instrument and re-
attached on the top to act as a screen protector.
The stand is removed by flexing it outwards at the
hinged end until the lugs disengage from the sockets.
For outdoors use, the screen protector can be hinged upwards to form a sun shield which
improves the screen visibility in direct sunlight.
When not required, it can be detached and stowed away on the back of the instrument where it
functions as a tilt stand .
