Figure 4-24, IP Address Setup Example (from left to right) Master and two Slaves
4-32
1. First, and most important step, designate which of the
instruments will be set up as master and which will serve as
slaves.
2. Locate the multi-instrument cluster of connectors on the back of
the 2074. They are grouped under the X-Inst Sync title. There
are four SMB connectors. These should be connected as
follows: The SCLK OUT from the master should be connected
to the SCLK IN on the first slave unit and the TRIG OUT from
the master connected to the TRIG IN on the first slave.
3. Connect LAN cables from your LAN system to both the master
and slave units. If more than two units are connected to the
system, proceed with connecting wires as described in step 2
above, in a daisy-chain manner, OUT to the next IN connector.
Connect all instruments in the chain.
4. Turn on the instruments and set all of them up to operate from
a LAN interface. Information how to set up the 2074 to operate
from a LAN interface is given in Chapter 2. An example of
mater and slave IP address setting is shown in Figure 4-24.
The master was assigned the highest IP address ...252 and
the two slaves were assigned ...246 and ...245, respectively.
The IP address determines if instruments are to be set
up as master or slave. The highest IP address setting
designates the master instrument. Lower IP addresses
designate slave instruments.
5. Invoke the System->Setup and Communication Options. Select
the Communicate Only in the Startup Options group and select
the Specify an Address Option in the Communications Setup
group.
6. Select the LAN Interface and add the master and slave
addresses as shown in Figure 4-25.
