CAUTION
Phase synchronization requires the use of the VXI
ECLTRG0 and ECLTRG1 signals. Other VXI
instruments must not drive ECLTRG0/1 while
phase synchronization is enabled.
There are phase synchronization commands that can tightly
control phase offsets between two or more Model 3152As.
These commands are described below. To use the following
commands, two Model 3152As are required. When
synchronizing modules, the waveforms in each module must
have exactly the same number of points.
First, load the waveforms in all the modules in preparation for
phase synchronization. Then select one Model 3152A as
master and program it using the following commands:
PHASe:LOCK
ON
PHASe:SOURce
MAST
The above Model 3152A is now programmed as master. Next,
program the other Model 3152A modules as slaves (SLAVe)
and program their phase offset in relation to the master. As an
example, program the second and third Model 3152A with 120
and 240 degree offsets, respectively.
Use the following commands on the second Model 3152A:
PHASe:SOURce
SLAVe
PHASe:LOCK
ON
PHASe:ADJust
120
Use the following commands on the third Model 3152A:
PHASe:
SLAVe
PHASe:LOCK
ON
PHASe:ADJust
240
The three Model 3152A modules are now synchronized.
The sample clock rate has no effect on phase offset accuracy.
However, when trying to synchronize modules that are
programmed to output waveforms with few memory points, a ±1
count error between modules may be seen. To remove this
error, use the following command:
PHASe:LOCK:NULL
