Figure 8-25: Timing Diagram: PI-MAX3 SyncMASTER1 as Master Clock
The setup procedure is much the same as that described in Section 8.4.1.1, Experiment
is Master Clock , on page 105.
The differences are:
• Internal Trigger is selected;
• SyncMASTER is enabled;
• A cable is connected between the PI-MAX3's AUX I/O cable's SyncMASTER1
BNC and the light source (experiment) for triggering the event.
8.4.2 Swept Gate Experiment [Variable Width, Variable Delay]
The procedure to configure a Swept Gate experiment with variable width and delay is
similar to that for a Swept Gate experiment with fixed width and variable delay with the
following configuration changes:
• In addition to configuring differing start and end values for the Gate Delay,
differing start and end values for the Gate Width must be configured.
Refer to Section 8.4.1, Swept Gate Experiment [Fixed Width; Variable Delay] , on
page 105 for complete configuration information.
