Back Panel

The back panel consists of 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 different ways. The configuration affects the probe connectors on the
back panel. The Model 1529 is configured with one PRT/thermistor input mod-
ule of two channels and one thermocouple input module of two channels. The
Model 1529-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. Figure 3 shows the back panel and the three different
configurations.
Power Switch - The power switch turns the thermometer readout on and off.
AC Adapter 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).
Charging Indicator - The charging indicator lights when the AC adapter is
connected. It glows green when the battery is at full charge and amber when the
battery is being charged.
RS-232 Port Connector - The DB-9 connector is for interfacing the thermom-
eter readout to a computer or terminal with serial RS-232 communications.
IEEE-488 Port (optional) - The GPIB connector is for interfacing the ther-
mometer readout to a computer or terminal with IEEE-488 communications.
Serial Label - The serial label shows the instrument model and serial number.
Probe Connectors - Probe(s) must be connected either to the patented
mini-DWF connectors (PRT/thermistor probes) or to the universal receptacle
(thermocouples) for operation.
