1.2. POWER DETECTOR CONNECTORS
1.2.1. DB- 15 “intelligent” connector
The DB-15 male "intelligent" connector contains an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory) with different information related to the HP Series detector head in use: detector
model, calibration sensitivity, applicable scales and wavelength correction factor for up to 20
wavelengths.
This connector, available in the HP, allows the P-LINK, S-Link, SOLO 2, UNO, TUNER, MAESTRO
(detector model, calibration sensitivity, scale and wavelength correction factor) monitors to adjust
their characteristics automatically to the power sensor being connected. No calibration procedure is
required when installing the power heads, allowing for faster set-up.
The DB-15 connector pin-out is composed of (see Fig. 1-1):
