CrossSync Hardware Requirements
The CrossSync capability requires that analyzers are connected using their Sync ports.
CrossSync can be used with the built ‐ in Sync port included on every Advisor T3 and Sierra
M6 ‐ 1 analyzer. For owners of LeCroy’s Sierra, Summit T3, and Voyager M3i based
analyzers, the CATC Sync port requires the optional expansion board (ACC ‐ EXP ‐ 002 ‐ X). Up
to eight analyzers may be connected in a single chain.
The AdvisorT3 and Sierra M6 ‐ 1 use the built ‐ in Micro ‐ D Sync port and only require the
Micro ‐ D Sync cable (AC031XXA ‐ X).
Systems with an expansion slot (such as Sierra M6 ‐ 4, Sierra M6 ‐ 2, SierraFC M8 ‐ 4, Voyager
M3i, and Summit T3 ‐ 16) require the CATC Sync Expansion Card and DB ‐ 9 Sync cable (ACC ‐
EXP ‐ 002 ‐ X).
The Kibra 380 DDR3 and PCIe Summit T28 use built ‐ in DB ‐ 9 sync ports and require a DB ‐ 9
sync cable (ACC ‐ EXP ‐ 002 ‐ X).
Analyzers daisy ‐ chained via sync cables will automatically synchronize time stamps,
trigger, recording start, and recording stop.
