An interface device secures an instrument to a docking station (18) having a casing (24) having at least one signal port (32) and a mounting rail (26) mounted within a recessed portion of the casting. The signal ports may be power or data communications ports. A back panel (76) forms part of an instrument housing for housing the instrument, a first portion (52) protrudes rearward from the back panel and a first recess (56) is carried by the protruding portion. The first recess is dimensioned to receive the mounting rail. A rail cam (60) is rotatably mounted within the protruding portion and is aligned with the first recess to receive and retain the mounting rail and at least one first-portion signal port carried by the first portion. The first portion is dimensioned to fit within the recessed portion of the casing such that the rail cam is positioned to receive the mounting rail and the at least one first-portion signal port is aligned, in a complementary fashion, with the at least one casing signal port. A pole clamp assembly (72) may be positioned near the first and second portions. A pivot member (502) is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position and a post (504) having an axis. The post is mounted to the pivot member for axial movement and mounted thereto such that when the pivot member is retracted the axis of the post is substantially parallel with the back panel and when the pivot member is extended the axis of the post is substantially perpendicular to the back panel.
