Chassis Synchronization

The Chassis offers several timing signals that are used to achieve synchronous or 

asynchronous timing in a Chassis system. Clock Synchronization is configured using the 

Sync Routing Diagram. 

Reference Clock for Chassis Synchronization

This procedure provides instructions to configure a Chassis to use a divided version of the 

Reference Clock for system synchronization.

How to Configure Reference Clock for Chassis Synchronization

1

Configure Chassis Clock Source (refer to section titled “Configure Clock 

References”.

2

Navigate to the Sync Routing Diagram of the Chassis Web UI.
–

Access: Main Menu > Sync Diagram

3

Select the CLK100 Signal Relay Switch.

4

Configure the Sync Clock Divider.

Sync Trigger Input for Chassis Synchronization

This procedure provides instructions to configure a Chassis to use the Trigger Input Signal 

for system synchronization. This procedure involves routing a signal from the Chassis 

Trigger Input Connector to the Chassis internal trigger.

How to Configure Sync Trigger Input for Chassis Synchronization

1

Connect a valid input signal to Chassis Trigger Input Connector.

2

Configure Chassis Trigger Routing.
–

Main Menu > Triggers Diagram

3

Select the 

Click to Configure Trigger Routing Matrix

 box from the Trigger 

Diagrams page.

4

Navigate to the Sync Routing Diagram.
–

Main Menu > Sync Diagram

5

Select the SYNC_TRIG_OUT Signal Relay Switch.

NOTE

The Chassis synchronization signal can be driven by any applicable signal from the 

Trigger Routing Matrix, not just the External Trigger Input Connector.
