Apparatus for Producing an Electric Signal Provided With Luminous Means Characterizing Said Signal
First Claim
1. Device to produce an electric signal having a means to produce said electric signal, an adjustment means of a characteristic of said signal, a cable transmitting the signal to a connection element responsible for supplying said signal to another device.wherein the cable also transmits a light signal whose visible characteristic depends upon the value of the adjustable characteristics of the electric signal produced, the connection element having an emission means of said light signal.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device supplying an electrical signal for which a characteristic, for example, the voltage is adjustable. The device has a connector at one end of a cable to supply this signal to another electrical device. This connector comprises a transmission means of a light signal for which a visible characteristic depends upon the electrical signal produced. One improvement consists in the light signal coming from a source of white light that is colour modulated by filters. These filters are mechanically integrated into a mobile part belonging to the adjustment means of the signal supplied. The invention also relates to a system comprising the device supplying the signal and the device to be connected, the latter device features a mark identifying the light signal compatible with the electrical signal to receive.
