instruments.
• The RTC clock time, timer, and clock control start and stop times cannot be set on the
slave instruments.
• Selecting [SAVE] or [COPY] as a synchronized event sets the manual save destina-
tion folder appropriately and records data on each PW3390.
See "7.5.1 Manually Saving Measurement Data" (p. 139), "7.7 Saving Screen Capture Images" (p.
147)
• To save measurement data to storage media with an interval time control combina-
tion, set the same interval setting on the master and all slaves, and enable auto-sav-
ing (set to ON). In this case, selecting [SAVE] as a synchronous event has no effect.
See "5.1 Timing Control Functions" (p. 107), "7.5.2 Auto-Saving Measurement Data" (p. 141)
• Confirm no error display on the slave unit's screen when executing the synchroniza-
tion event.
