NOTE. There is no Ethernet connection on the AWGSYNC01. The AWGSYNC01 is controlled by the Master AWG70000 instrument. Connect the instruments The following diagrams show how to connect the AWGSYNC01 to two or more AWG70000 instruments. CAUTION. Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) handling procedures when connecting cables to the AWGSYNC01 and AWG70000 instruments to prevent damage.
Operating basics Enable the Slave AWG70000 instruments Prerequisite: All instruments are connected to the AWGSYNC01. (See Connect the AWGSYNC01 to AWG70000 instruments.) NOTE. You can use the Master AWG70000 UI to connect or disconnect from individual Slave AWG70000 instruments as long as you have enabled synchronization on the Slave AWG70000 instruments.
Master AWG70000. Prerequisites: ■ All instruments are connected to the AWGSYNC01 (see Connect the instruments). All Slave AWG70000 instruments have been enabled (from each Slave ■ instrument and from the Master instrument).

Operating basics 1. Use the supplied matched silver calibration cables to connect the Calibration ports on the front of the AWGSYNC01 to the same CH1+ or CH1– output on all AWG70000 Master and Slave instruments. The order of the connections is important.
3. Set the clock, trigger, and other controls. 4. Enable the Master AWG70000 to play sequences and waveforms. 5. When the trigger event occurs, the Master AWG70000 signals all enabled Slave AWG70000 instruments, and itself, to simultaneously output their respective waveforms.
