SIRIUS®
4.1.1.1 Click mechanism
You can use your SIRIUS® slices independently or
combine them to a single fully-synchronised
1
multi-channel
measurement system with the clever click-mechanism.
Also the S-BOX (see 4.3 SIRIUS-SBOX2 on page 30) and
the Battery Pack (see 7 Accessories on page 137) are fully
compatible to this click-mechanism.

4.1.1.2 Power/USB LED
LED status Description
Green USB and power are connected – ready for measurement
Red USB is connected, but power is missing.
You must connect the Power plug – see Power In on page 27
Off USB is not connected – SIRIUS® is switched off.
Note: Since SIRIUS® will be switched on only via USB the LED even remain off when you have
connected the Power plug – you MUST connect USB – see USB on page 27
4.1.2 Multi Slice
In a single box you can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 slices, plus an optional S-BOX (see 4.3 SIRIUS-SBOX2 on page 30) at the
bottom.

The main advantage over the single slice version is that all
the cabling between the slices is done internally – no
external USB or sync cables necessary.
In Illustration 45 you can see that the upper 3 slices only
have a CAN connector. The USB and sync and power
connectors are all wired internally to the bottom slice.
Thus you only need to connect one USB cable to your PC.
Note: of course you can also choose to use the
click-mechanism to connect S-BOX (see 4.3 SIRIUS-
SBOX2 on page 30) and a Battery Pack (see 7 Accessories
no page 137) to the bottom of this 4-slice box.

4pin) on page 26
