Setting Global System Parameters
Global system parameters refer to the master clock module. If slaves are
present, they will follow the master.
The clock module has
• a built-in 10 MHz reference,
• a PLL-controlled oscillator,
• pulse delay circuits,
• a frequency multiplier/divider,
• two input connectors named CLOCK / REF INPUT and EXT INPUT, and
• one output connector named TRIGGER OUTPUT.
The Parameter Editor is used for setting appropriate parameters.
This chapter provides instructions on how to set up the clock module:
"How to Start the Parameter Editor for Global Parameters" on page 85
"How to Set the Clock Characteristics" on page 87
"How to Set the Characteristics of the External Input" on page 90
