Connecting a Front-End into a system
A Front-End can be connected using the Front End Interface in the following ways:
1.
Through a PowerLab C: Aft er screwing the Front End Interface into the I2C port of
the Front End, the requisite Analog cable can be used to connect the two devices.
Using the USB-C to USB-C cable, the Interface can be powered by connecting it
to one of the 4 downstream facing USB ports on the PowerLab C. A USB-C to
USB-C cable or USB-C to USB-A cable should be used to connect the PowerLab
(using the ‘Computer’ labelled upstream facing port) to the appropriate USB
port on the computer .
2.
Directly to the Computer: Aft er connecting the Front-End and the Front End
Interface using an analog cable, the Interface can be powered by directly
connecting it to a computer. In this case, an ADInstruments supplied USB-C
to USB-C cable must be used to connect the Interface to a USB-C port on the
