CHAPTER 6
Use with Other Instruments
Some applications call for a number of Vectrinos used in a single set of measure-
ments. It is then often desirable to be able to synchronize all the instruments.
Your Vectrino may serve as master for other Vectrinos, or its sampling may be
controlled by other sensors.
If you connect a controller to the Vectrino, you may set up a fairly sophisticated
system, in which the controller may power the Vectrino and provide it with sync
pulses to control the sampling accurately. The controller may serve as a storage
device.
Synchronizing with Other Instruments
The Vectrino can be synchronized with other instruments via the SyncIn and
SyncOut.
The synchronization utilizes RS 485, which is a balanced half duplex transmis-
sion standard.
