5.2.12 Operating Multiple 6240B
This section describes synchronous operation, serial connection, and parallel connection using more than
one 6240B.
5.2.12.1 Synchronous Operation
The synchronous operation of multiple 6240B units allows synchronization of measurement timing in the
DC source mode, as well as allowing synchronization of both source and measurement in the pulse source
mode and the sweep source mode.
The timing control for the synchronization is performed by the external control signals; TRIGGER IN,
SYNC OUT and OPERATE OUT, and the time parameter settings such as measurement delay and source
delay.
