2.4 Independent Operation and Synchronous
Operation
Independent Operation
Independent operation refers to making measurements on a single SL1000.
Ethernet/USB
PC
GROUP-ID (0 to F)
UNIT-ID=0
• During independent operation, set the group ID to a value from 0 to F and the unit ID
to 0. For the setup procedure, see section 4.1.
• Independent operation can be used in online or standalone mode. However, to
measure in standalone mode, configure the SL1000 system and measurement
conditions in online mode beforehand.
Synchronous Operation
Synchronous operation refers to synchronizing up to eight SL1000s for taking
measurements.

• During synchronous operation, there are limitations on the input and output terminals
that can be used on the master and slave units. For details, see section 2.1.
• Keep the total length of sync cables to 10 m or less. Otherwise, the SL1000s may not
operate properly.
• For the procedure to connect sync I/O connectors using sync cables, see section 5.7.
• To perform synchronous operation, set the master and slave units to the same
group ID (from 0 to F). Set the master unit’s unit ID to 0, and slave units’ unit IDs in
ascending order from 1 to 7. For details, see section 4.1.
• When the save destination is set to the units’ HDD, the recording files are saved to
each unit’s hard disk.
