Configurations -
There are a few ways to setup master and slave boards.
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. Make sure that the Internal SYNCI and the SYNCO is checked in the master board DSM application. 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 choose to split the SYNCO signal and have one end go the slave board and the other end go to the SYNCIN connector on the master board.
This way, the lag times will be the same and the boards will have a synchronized output. Please note that in this case, the lag time must be less than TSYNC2 since the boards will automatically generate a SYNCI signal after TSYNC2.
Single Master, Multiple Slaves
For multiple slaves, will have to split the SYNCOUT signal from the master board as demonstrated below:
