PowerLab Owner’s Guide

The Back Panel

The PowerLab back panel provides the sockets to connect the
PowerLab to the computer, front-ends, the power outlet, and so on.
This section describes each of the back panel features. The back
panels are the same for the PowerLab 2/20 and PowerLab 4/20.

I

2

C Output

The I

2

C output is a special port designed to connect to front-ends

made by ADInstruments. It supplies power and communications. A
PowerLab can have as many front-ends connected to it as it has
appropriate connectors. All of them connect to this port in a simple
daisy-chain arrangement.

Note

. You should not attempt to run other

external devices from the I

2

C port: it is designed for use only with

ADInstruments front-ends. Only 50 mA maximum current can be
provided through this bus, so it should not be used for third-party
devices drawing more current.

USB Port

The PowerLab connects to your computer using a USB (universal
serial bus) port. This works with USB 1.1-compliant computers with
USB connectors or a PCI USB card. To operate, USB needs a Power
Macintosh running Mac OS 8.5 or later, or a PC running Windows 98
or 2000 or later.

No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
