Connecting Sensors to the Instrument

Sensors are connected to the instrument via BNC and, in the case of
the vbBalancer+ instrument, seven-pin LEMO socket. Use the
provided triple BNC adapter (LEMO breakout cable) to connect
channels 2 through 4 if using these channels on a vbBalancer+
instrument.
Note: The triple BNC adapter's three BNC inputs are numbered to
indicate channel.
BNC Attach the sensor cable plug to the BNC connector(s) by
inserting and gently turning clockwise. Remove by turning in an
anti-clockwise direction then pulling up
