*In general, the interface automatically
recognizes all PASPORT sensors.
In this example, the Force Sensor PS-2104 is
connected to the first PASPORT input port.
NOTE: If a PASPORT sensor has been
selected for an input but the sensor is not yet
connected to the interface, the sensor’s icon
is slightly different.
( ) The exclamation mark triangle
indicates that the sensor is not connected or
detected.
