Verification procedure
To verify the correct operation of the Master/Slave configuration, proceed as follows:
3.2.1
Hardware set-up
1
Set-up two GEN series mainframes with each a Master/Slave board installed and with each
at least one recorder board installed.
2
Connect a TTL level, 1 Hertz signal to the top input of the first recorder board of the master
mainframe and to the top input of the first recorder board of the slave mainframe.
3
Switch on both GEN series mainframes and wait until they have completed the booting
process.
4
With the fiber-optic cable, connect to any connector of the Master/Slave board of the master
mainframe to the top connector labelled M/S IN of the Master/Slave board of the slave
mainframes.
5
Check if both LEDs on both Master/Slave boards are illuminated green.
3.2.2
Software set-up
1
If it is not already active, start Perception.
2
In the start dialog, select New blank experiment.
3
Make sure that you are connected to the required mainframes. Use the Hardware Navigator
to do this.
4
In the Settings sheet, go to the General group in the task pane and select Mainframe. A
list of available mainframes is displayed in the settings area.
5
Set the master mainframe operating mode to Master in the Master/Slave mode column.
6
Set the slave mainframe operating mode to Slave in the Master/Slave mode column.
7
The slave mainframe will now be synchronized to the master mainframe. The status palette
will now show a box with the synchronization status of the Master/Slave system. This box
is labelled MASTER SLAVE.
8
The synchronization status will first be Synchronizing for up to three minutes before
becoming Synchronized.
