Configurations -
There are a few ways to setup master and slave boards. Remember to set up a trigger signal for the Master board.
Single Master, Single Slave
Short Connection between Master and Slave
For a single master, single slave configuration, simply connect the SYNCOUT on the master to the SYNCIN on the slave with a SMA cable.
If the cable is fairly short, the SYNCO and SYNCI signals will be the same. When the user sends a trigger signal, the boards will begin outputting waveforms.
Long Connection between Master and Slave
If the cable connecting master and slave is very long and lag time is a concern, you can adjust the Guard Length.
This way, the lag times will be the same and the boards will have a synchronized output.
Single Master, Multiple Slaves
For multiple slaves, we split the SYNCOUT signal from the master board as demonstrated below:
