an ordinary 7 V plug-in-power supply.

The supplied connecting cable is connected to

 

the MICROSCOPE socket on the control panel

 

and CONTROLPANEL on the microsope.

 

The CONTROLPANEL interface on the micro-

 

scope is active from Eprom version number 2.4

 

upwards.

 

Optionally, a dual footswitch, order no. 505 096, can be connected to the FOOTSWITCH socket.
