Output On/Off Synchronization Appendix D
Keysight N6700 User’s Guide 117
Synchronizing Multiple Mainframes
The output turn-on synchronization function can be used across multiple
mainframes that have coupled output channels. Each mainframe that
will be synchronized must have at least one coupled channel. Note that
cross-frame synchronization must be enabled for any mainframe that
contains synchronized output channels.
Procedure
1.
Configure the output channels on each mainframe as described in
steps 1 through 3 of the previous procedure.
2.
This step is required if you have power modules with different
minimum delay offsets. Specify a common delay offset for all of the
synchronized output channels. This value must be the largest delay
offset of all synchronized output channels regardless of the
mainframe in which they are installed. This same value must be
specified as the common delay offset for each mainframe.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
In the front panel menu of each
mainframe, select
Output\Sequence\Couple
.
In the Delay offset field, enter the
delay offset value of the slowest
power module of all the
mainframes in milliseconds; then
press Select.
The
Max delay offset for this frame
field displays the delay offset of
the slowest power module in this
frame.
To specify the common delay
offset for each mainframe in
seconds:
OUTP:COUP:DOFF .051
To return the delay offset of the
slowest power module in each
mainframe (the maximum delay
offset) in seconds:
OUTP:COUP:MAX:DOFF?
3.
Connect and configure the digital connector pins of the
synchronized mainframes as described in the following section.
Digital Connections and Configuration
NOTE
Only pins 4 through 7 can be configured as synchronization pins. You
cannot configure more than one ON couple and one OFF couple pin per
mainframe.
The polarity of the pins is not programmable.
The digital connector pins of the synchronized mainframes that contain
coupled channels must be connected together as shown in the following
figure. In this example, pin 6 will be configured as the output On control.
Pin 7 will be configured as the output Off control. The ground or
Common pins also need to be connected together.
