PowerLab Owner’s Guide
If the PowerLab is the only SCSI device to connect to the computer,
then simply connect the two together with the correct SCSI cable, and
turn the SCSI termination switch on. If you wish to use multiple SCSI
devices with the computer, the first and last devices in the chain
should be terminated. The PowerLab must be at the end of the chain,
since it has only one SCSI connector, and its internal terminator must
be switched on.
Connecting the PowerLab: Windows
Most modern PC computers should have SCSI available through a
card (some have it built in). Not all SCSI cards are suitable, especially
high-end ones (ultra-wide SCSI and the like). ADInstruments sells
SCSI cards and cables with which the PowerLab should work reliably.
(It may not be possible to find a cable to fit all connections, though.)
Make sure that you have the correct SCSI cable to connect up your
PowerLab. It requires a 25-pin D-style connector for the PowerLab. If
you have a portable computer with a PC card SCSI adapter, then the
card probably needs the specific cable that came with that particular
card. You may have to purchase separately a cable adapter to connect
the end of your SCSI cable to the 25-pin connector for the PowerLab.
