"No Sync"
Synchronization is not achieved, because:
●
The baseband generators in the secondary instruments or in the
primary instruments are not activated, see "To start signal genera-
tion" on page 648.
●
There is no physical connection (the synchronization signal is not
connected as required).
For details, see Chapter 10.3.1.2, "How to Connect and Configure
Instruments in Primary-Secondary Instrument Mode",
on page 644.
●
The secondary instrument does not detect the synchronization
signal.
Remote command:
:SCONfiguration:MULTiinstrument:TRIGger:SYNChronization?

Global Connector Settings
Option: R&S SMW-B10 or R&S SMW-B9 with DACW board with revision < 5.
Provides a quick access to the related global connector settings.
With "State = On", the synchronization signal is assigned per default as follows:
●
"Multi Instrument Trigger > Primary"
"Connector = USER 6": "Direction = Output", "Signal = Baseband Sync Out"
●
"Multi Instrument Trigger > Secondary"
"Connector = USER 6": "Direction = Output", "Signal = Baseband Sync Out"
"Connector = USER 5": "Direction = Input", "Signal = Baseband Sync In"
