Synchronized Operation
Sync Signals
Output signal CMOS level output (0 to 5 V)
Output voltage range HIGH level: 4.0 to 5.0 V, LOW level: 0 to 0.5 V
Output clock frequency HIGH level: 30 ns, LOW level: 70 ns, frequency 100 ns

Using 1 master instrument, synchronize
sampling according to the sync signal input
to the EXT. SMPL terminal. (The sync sig-
nal is output by the master.)
As more instruments are connected, the dif-
ference between sampling timing on differ-
ent instruments becomes larger.
(Up to 3 instruments may be connected, in-
cluding the master)

Set 1 instrument to Master, and set the others to Slave
With 1 instrument only, synchronized measurement is not possible and precise
measurement is not possible.
