Appendix F: Con

guring two Tektronix 70000 series oscilloscopes

Ethernet.

Connect each instrument to the GigE switch. If you are using an

external PC connect this too. See instructions provided above for con

guring

the IP addresses.

USB cable.

Connect the standard USB cable between one of the ports on the

scopes and the Sync Board. This cable is simply used to power the board.

RF cabling.

Connect rear-panel BNC connections Ref Out on the master to Ref In on

the slave oscilloscope.

For self-triggering (vs. using an external trigger source): Using an SMA cable,

connect the Fast Edge of the Master (usually top scope) to Ch 2 of the Master.
