Serial coupling
Parallel coupling
•
connect the external
trigger signal to pins 3+4
[IN] of the Master in-
strument
•
connect the pins 1+2
[OUT] of the Master in-
strument with pins 3+4
[IN] of the first Slave in-
strument
•
connect the pins 1+2
[OUT] of the first Slave
instrument with pins 3+4
[IN] of the second Slave
instrument
•
couple all instruments
•
connect the external
trigger signal to pins 3+4
[IN] of the Master instru-
ment
•
connect the pins 1+2
[OUT] of the Master in-
strument with pins 3+4
[IN] of all Slave instru-
ments
•
connect pin 2 of the
Master instrument via a
2.2 kOhm resistor with
pin 3 of a free measuring
channel [X]
Restrictions of the serial coupling
Restrictions of the parallel coupling
You will see synchronisation delays with the serial coupling:
•
max. 1 ms between Master and Slave 1
•
max. 1 ms between Slave 1 and Slave 2
•
max. 2 ms between Master and Slave 2
•
max. 4 ms between Master and Slave 4
If you operate the coupled instruments in the “dynamic mode”
(see section 6.6.6 on page 28) (Hardware filter switched off), all
channels can be scanned with up to 10 kHz. Then the synchroni-
sation delay is reduced to 0.1 ms.
The parallel coupling may only be used for the maximum of 10 instru-
ments (1 9 Slaves). You will see small synchronisation delays of
max. 1 ms between all instruments.
Use of the trigger box
For the coupling of more than two instruments we recommend the use
of the trigger box (TKZ 3160-00-00.45). This eases the coupling and
allows the use of the standard connection cables (TKZ 8842-F2-
00.50).
7.4.2 Program
instruments
Program Master instrument
1. Program the memory channels as desired.
2. Program scan rate, storage time and pretrigger as desired.
3. Program the storage start by a trigger (absolutely required, trigger
type can be chosen freely).
4. Program the trigger output „ACTIVE“ and set it to „SP_TRIG“ (for-
warding of the trigger signal to the Slaves).
Program Slave instruments
1. Program the memory channels as desired.
2.
Program scan rate, storage time and pretrigger identic like at
the Master instrument
.
3. Program the storage start by a trigger. Program the trigger input
E1 „ON“ for trigger 1.
4. Program the trigger output „AKTIV“ and set it to „SP_TRIG“ (for-
warding of the trigger signal to the next Slave). This is required for
serial coupling, only.
