The connectors at either end of a sensor cable are identical. To connect the
sensor cables to the sensors, line up the red mark on the cable connector
with the red mark on the sensor connector (on the bottom side of the
sensor) and insert the cable connector. It will lock in place.
CAUTION Do do not twist or turn the connector while inserting it. This may damage
the pins inside of the connector.
The cable connector includes a spring-loaded locking mechanism to hold
the cable securely to the sensor. To disconnect the cable, release the lock
by sliding back the knurled sleeve on the connector. The cable connector
should disconnect easily from the sensor.

NOTE
The Metrology software identifies a sensor by the number of the port on
the Sensor Hub to which it is connected. It is good practice to record the
number of the port used by a particular sensor.
