3.2 Smart Connectors

The Vega display, is versatile and can operate with either
thermal, pyroelectric or photodiode type laser measuring
sensors. The sensor configuration and calibration
information is stored in an EEROM in the sensor
connector plug.
plugged in, the Vega automatically identifies the sensor
type, calibration and configuration. The user does not
have to adjust anything.
Note:
In ROM versions earlier than 1.96, the Vega does not
recognize when a sensor has been disconnected.
Therefore, when changing sensors, the display should
be turned off; the new sensor plugged in; and then the
Vega should be turned on again. From ROM version
1.96, this is no longer necessary, as the Vega will
recognize when a sensor has been disconnected and
will restart itself. See section 3.6.5 for details
When no sensor is plugged in and the Vega is turned on,
the display indicates "Head Disconnected" and gives the
user the opportunity to change the baud rate, re-zero the
instrument, and set the real time clock or other features.
See section 3.5.
