DTG5078 & DTG5274 & DTG5334 Data Timing Generator User Manual 2

Master-Slave Operation
When you use one unit of the
DTG5000 Series
mainframe, the DTG5078 can output
up to 32 channels of signals, and the DTG5274 / DTG5334 up to 8 channels. The
Master-Slave operation is a feature that allows you to use more channels of signals
than the maximum number of channels of one unit. This is possible by operating
multiple units of the same model of mainframes. A unit that controls the overall
system is called Master, and a unit that is used for additional channels is called
Slave. If the DTG5274/DTG5334 is used as a master, one unit of
DTG5274/DTG5334 can be used as a slave. If the DTG5078 is used as a master,
up to two units of DTG5078 can be used as slaves.
In the Master-Slave operation, the master and slaves should be connected directly
for the Clock and Event signals, because the timing is critical. For other signals, the
master controls the slaves through a LAN. You can configure the overall system,
prepare pattern data and set output parameters through the corresponding windows
of the master unit. The screen of each slave unit displays only its operating status
and does not allow any operation other than exiting the program
Preparing the Master/Slave Operation
To execute the Master-Slave operation, you must connect the master unit and each
slave unit with cables and configure the master unit’s system for Master-Slave
operation.
Connecting the Cables
To synchronize the clock and jump timing on the overall system, connect the two
types of signals and establish a LAN as shown in Figure 1-60 on page 1-108 and
Figure 1-61 on page 1-109.
As a clock source, use the clock selected on the master. To supply the clock signal
Sync Clock Out generated from the master to all the units:
Connect the Sync Clock Out/Out signals of the master unit to Sync Clock In/In
of the slave units.
Also connect the Sync Clock Out/Out signals of the master unit to Sync Clock
In/In of the master unit.
Use only the Textronix SMA cable, part number 174-1427-00.
