2.2. Mating Connector at the Instrument Side 

For connecting the GXR-GPS to an Instrument, a mating connector must be used. This connector is 
provided with the Instrument. 

With a GSR-xx, the connector must be connected to the OPTION connector of the instrument, if not 
otherwise specified. 
With a CR-5P, the connector must be connected to the SYN in connector of the instrument.
