Synchronized Sweep

The WSA5000 supports a synchronized sweep function for the purposes of comparing
the same signal received via multiple WSA5000s.

Synchronized sweep is an extension of the external trigger capability. One of the
WSA5000s in a network is configured to be the master (

:SYSTem:SYNC:MASTer

ON)

and the other WSA5000s are configured as slaves (

:SYSTem:SYNC:MASTer

OFF). The

master and slaves are configured with a sweep list, in which each sweep entry has a
synchronization trigger type (

:SWEep:ENTRy:TRIGger:TYPE

PULSE | WORD). The

synchronization trigger is generated and delivered from the master's GPIO to that of the
slaves to indicate the beginning of a capture.

Figure 7

provides a synchronization trigger example using sync-word. The master sends

the sync-word when the setup of its front-end has been completed. Master and slaves
are also individually configured with a delay variable (

:SYSTem:SYNC:WAIT

<nsec> with

a resolution of 8 nsec). This delay wait time accounts for the typical worst-case front-end
setup time and for differences in the synchronization cable length. Master and slaves
then begin the capture upon the expiration of the wait (or delay).
