Basic Digital Operation (Option 653/655/656/657)
Multiple Baseband Generator Synchronization
The master signal generator allows the modifications of both the trigger type and the trigger
source.
a. Return to the Dual ARB menu (see page 265 ).
b. Set the desired trigger type and source.
c. Return to the Multi–BBG Sync Setup menu.
Set the BBG Synchronization Slave Parameters
1. Press Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Setup > More > Multi–BBG Sync Setup > Multi–BBG Sync Type
> Slave .
2. Set the number of Slaves using the Number of Slaves softkey.
3. Set the slave position that the signal generator occupies.
There can be up to fifteen slaves in a system.
4. Press the Listen for Sync softkey and verify that
Waiting for Sync
appears in the
Status
area of the display.
5. If desired, select a different trigger type parameter:
a. Return to the Dual ARB menu (see page 265 ).
b. Set the desired trigger type.
c. Return to the Multi–BBG Sync Setup menu.
6. Repeat for each slave signal generator in the system.
Synchronize the System
Perform this procedure only after setting the parameters for both the master and slave signal
generators. If resynchronizing a system, use the procedure “Making Changes to the Multiple
Synchronization Setup and Resynchronizing the Master/Slave System” on page 270 .
1. On the master, press the Sync Slaves softkey.
2. On the front panel displays, ensure that all of the signal generators show
In Sync
as the
Status
.
Trigger and Play the Waveform
1. On all Keysight signal generators, press Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Off On to On.
2. Start the trigger signal going to the master signal generator.
All of the signal generators in the master/slave system must be
resynchronized when any changes are made to the master/slave settings
or with the addition of a slave instrument, even if
In Sync
appears after
pressing the Listen for Sync softkey on the slave instruments.
