5.2 Back Panel
The back panel consistsof the power switch, AC adapter connector, charging
indicator,RS-232 port connector, IEEE-488 port connector (optional), serial la-
bel, and probe connectors.The 1529 thermometer readout can be configured in
three differentways. The configuration affects the probe connectors on the
back panel. TheModel 1529 is configured with one PRT/thermistor input mod-
uleo f twochannels and one thermocouple input module of two channels. The
Model1529-R is configured with two PRT/thermistor input modules of four
channels.The Model 1529-T is configured with two thermocouple input mod-
ules of four channels. Figure3 showsthe back panel and the three different
configurations.
PowerSwitch - The power switch turns the thermometer readout on and off.
ACAdapter Connecor - The AC adapter plugs into the DC power input to re-
charge the battery and to power the instrument while the battery is being
charged(see Section 6.3, Battery).
ChargingIndicator - The charging indicator lights when the AC adapter is
connected. It glowsgreen when the battery is at full charge and amber when the
battery is being charged.
RS-232 PortConnector - The DB-9 connector is for interfacing the thermom-
eter readout to a computer or terminal with serialRS-232 communications.
IEEE-488 Port (optional) - The GPIB connectoris for interfacing the ther-
mometer readout to a computer or terminalwith IEEE-488 communications.
Serial Label - The serial labelshows the instrument model and serial number.
ProbeConnectors - Probe(s) must be connected either to the patented
mini-DWFconnectors (PRT/thermistor probes) or to the universal receptacle
(thermocouples)for operation.
