AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 3-249
Synchronous Operation Mode (AWG710B only)
Synchronous Operation is a feature that allows you to use two channels of signal
by operating two AWG710B. A word synchronous called here means that two
units of the AWG710B operate with the same clock and that start and stop of output
signals of two units are corresponding.
A unit that controls the overall system is called Master, and a unit that is used for
an additional channel is called Slave. In the Synchronous Operation mode, the
master and slave should be connected directly for the Clock and Trigger signals,
because the timing is critical. For other signals, the master controls the slave
through a LAN. Although loading of a waveform file and the setting parameter of
the Vertical menu are performed to Master and Slave each, control of other Slave
is performed from Master via LAN.
The remote command via LAN can be used also during synchronous operation.
Two units of synchronous operations are performed as follows:
Connect two LAN cables, four Clock signal cables and four Trigger signal
cables.
One unit is set as Slave and one more unit is set as Master.
Connect the Master and the Slave via LAN.
Load the waveform files to the Master and the Slave.
Set the output parameters such as frequency and amplitude
Master and Slave are connected via LAN.
Turn the OUTPUT and ALL MARKER OUT ON/OFF buttons to ON.
