The Weidmüller connectors enable you to connect third-party devices for capturing analog data, such as force plates and accelerometers to a Lock Lab.  When inserting flexible wire cables into a connector or extracting them from a connector, use a slotted screwdriver as shown in the illustration (right). If your cables are rigid (solid wire or ferrule), you do not need to use a screwdriver and can push the ends of the cables into the required connector. Pin assignment The following illustration shows the pin assignment of the Weidmüller connectors. Note that the pins shown in the illustration (left) are assigned as follows: Pins 1–8 (top row): Ground Pins 9–16 (bottom row): Signal inputs In this diagram, the bottom of the image represents the wire side of the connector. Tip : For each socket, the duplicate pin numbers do not correlate with the analog channel input. That is, on connector one (leftmost), pin 9 is channel 1, pin 16 is channel 8. On connector four (rightmost), pin 9 is channel 25, pin 16 is channel 32.
