Set-up two GEN series mainframes with each a Master/Slave card installed
and with each at least one recorder card installed.
2
Connect a TTL level, 1 Hertz signal to the top input of the first recorder card
of the master mainframe and to the top input of the first recorder card 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
card of the master mainframe to the top connector labelled M/S IN of the
Master/Slave card of the slave mainframes.

Check if both LEDs on both Master/Slave cards are illuminated green.
Software set-up
1
If it is not already active, start Perception.
