The cell connections are discussed in Chapter 3Error! Reference source not found.. A pin-out description of
the cell cable connector is found in Appendix B.
Monitor Connector
The Monitor Connector is a 9-pin DIN-type connector. It contains two analog output signals; one analog input
signal is used for connection of the Interface 5000 to external devices, a temperature input, and an analog input
for measurement of analog input signals. It is not needed for any standard Gamry Framework electrochemical
tests.
Additional information on this connector, its uses, and its signals is in Appendix C.
The USB LED
The USB LED is located just below the PWR LED. It is a tri-color LED, able to glow green, orange, or red.
The USB LED is unlit when:
•
The Interface 5000 is not powered.
•
The Interface 5000 does not have a USB cable plugged into its rear-panel USB port.
•
The computer end of the USB cable is not plugged into a USB port on a computer or hub.
•
The USB cable is not supplying USB power to the Interface 5000.
•
The computer has disabled the USB port going to the Interface 5000.
The USB LED glows a continuous green if a valid USB connection is made and the Interface 5000's
communication processor receives power along the USB cable.
The USB LED flashes orange whenever the Interface 5000 receives or transmits valid USB messages to or from
the host computer. It does not flash if there is USB traffic addressed to other devices on the USB bus, including
messages aimed at a different Interface 5000.
The USB LED indicates a continuous red in one special condition: when a firmware update occurs. Interrupting
a firmware update can cause a catastrophic failure of your system. Do not turn off the Interface 5000, do not
unplug the USB cable, and do not stop the operation of the host computer when the USB LED is a
continuous red color.
Caution:
update can render an Interface 5000 inoperable until it is returned to Gamry for reprogramming.
