Commercially available 50 Ω BNC cables are used as connecting lines.
Starting measured value acquisition via the trigger line is not yet implemented and is
performed via the LAN connection of the instruments. For phase measurement, a "Ref
Channel" must therefore be defined in each instrument,preferably channel 1 (default).
These inputs must be connected to the reference signal for the phase measurement,
as described in the section "Reference and Trigger Channel".
8.3.3 Communication Lines
To allow the instruments to communicate with each other and the cascade to be con-
trolled by means of a control computer, all components involved are interconnected via
a LAN switch.
The cascade and the individual slaves are always set up using the master R&S UPP.
This can be controlled with a control computer using a GUI or by remote control via
LAN or IEC/IEEE bus.
Commercially available accessories serve as the LAN switch and LAN Ethernet cable.
