First, the BMA Female Connector (1). Then, shown installed are the ProLink LPA-

SMA, LPA-BNC, and LPA-K Adapters (2, 3, and 4).

Note: When connecting an active probe to the instrument, an adapter is
not required unless you wish to connect a ProBus compatible probe to a
ProLink input.

Connecting the Adapters

The mating end of the ProLink adapter
has four fastening clips (shown right).

When installing an adapter on the
instrument's connector panel, align the
male 6-pin connector with the female
connector and push the adapter straight
forward. You are likely to notice some resistance and hear clicks as the four
clips snap into place. Now, tighten the captive screws.

When removing an adapter, loosen the two captive screws. Push down on
the adapter to unseat the clips. This requires some force and is initially
noisy; however, no damage results to the connector, the floating female
BMA connector, or the pins, as they can accommodate 15 degrees off axis
while mated or unmated.
