Chapter 5 Multi-Instrument Operation
Multiple Phase Setup
Multiple Phase Setup
Multiple Model 2411B's can be operated synchronously in parallel or series. Synchronous operation of
multiple units eliminates triggering jitter and minimizes clock delays. In synchronous operation, the
units must share the same sample clock and be programmed for a synchronous trigger interconnect.
Refer to the diagram on page 5-3.
Sample Clock Setup
To operate multiple units in synchronous, designate one unit as the master unit and another unit as the
slave unit.
Program the slave unit clock inputs to be external as follows:
1) Press
UTIL
button.
2) Press
SCLK
(Fl) softkey.
3) Press
EXT
(F2) softkey to select external sample clock.
4) Press
ENTER
button.
Note: the master unit operates with its normal internal sample clock. If the sample clock of the master
unit is connected to an external source, then, the clock of both units must be programmed to
EXT
and
the external clock must be supplied to both units.
Trigger Setup
Connect the rear-panel
SYNC TRIG OUT
signal from the master unit to the
TRIG IN
connectors of
the slave units.
Program the master unit sync trigger for serial or parallel operation as follows:
1) Press
OUTPUT
button.
2) Press >> (F4) softkey.
3) Press
STRG
(Sync Trigger) (F2) softkey.
4) Press
SER
(Serial) (Fl) or
PAR
(Parallel) (F2) softkey.
5) Press
ENTER
button.
Program the slave unit trigger inputs for synchronous operation as follows:
1) Press
UTIL
(Utility) button.
2) Press
TGIN
(Trig In) (F3) softkey.
3) Press
SYNC
(Fl) softkey to select synchronous trigger input.
