Figure 3-44, Activating the Synchronization Process
Operating synchronized instruments is best achieved if some
ground-rules are learned and adhered to.
1. Connecting the synchronization cables is pre-requisite however,
additional steps must be performed to set one unit in master
mode the others as slave.
2. Make sure you activate the synchronization sequence from the
Master unit only
3. Sample clock and output frequency can only be controlled from
the master unit
4. Both master and slave units must be placed in the same run
mode to operate synchronously. For example, units in burst
mode will synchronize however, one set to continuous and the
another to burst will not synchronize
5. Both master and slave units must be placed in the same
waveform mode to operate synchronously. For example, both
units in sequence mode will synchronize however, one set to
Arbitrary and the other to sequence will not synchronize
6. Two instrument synchronization does not operate in modulated
waveform mode
7. Trigger signal is applied to the master input and is common to
both master and slave units
8. Each instrument can have a unique set of waveforms, active
segment, sequence, amplitude and offset parameters
9. Slave channels can be delayed in reference to the master
channels by a pre-defined number of sample clocks. Observe
