Making Electrical Connections
Before making measurements with the TransPort, you must make
all the necessary connections to the unit. This section describes
how to connect the following:
• Power
• Transducer
• Analog Input/Output
• RS232 Communications Port
Make all connections to the top of the TransPort unit as shown in

required for particular functions, but are not necessary for basic
operation.
