To connect the optional gauge controller
Materials needed: Gauge controller (HP 59864B)
Power cord
Triode gauge cable (8120-6573)
1 Connect the triode gauge cable to the triode gauge tube.
2 Connect the other end of the triode gauge cable to the gauge controller.
3 Connect the power cord to the gauge controller.
4 Connect the other end of the power cord to an appropriate electrical

avoid having to vent the MSD before connecting the controller.
