The Nicolet 526 is made of four boards and a backplane which has a 40 position two sided edge connector for each board.
Connection to the Tektronix mainframe is done via thee backplane.

The four boards are:
The four boards are:
* ADC and Register: The SIGNAL wire from pin 23A on the plug-in interface goes to the inverting input of an LM301 opamp via a resistance of around 165 kΩ. The noninverting input of this opamp is grounded.
